Developing wisdom and compassion: A day of mind training
Details
Mind training is a central Mahayana Buddhist practice aimed at shifting the habitual focus from self to others. With an unparalleled directness, it allow us to transform all situations, positive and negative, into the path of awakening wisdom and compassion .
The only qualification we need to practise the teaching is, as Lama Jampa Thaye has said, ‘our ordinary, confused mind, full of disturbing emotions, full of self-clinging and self-cherishing.'
The day is four one‑hour sessions, each including:
- A period of sitting meditation
- Listening to a section of the teaching
- Time for personal reflection
- Space for questions
The day will be led by Miranda and Rachel, both long-standing students of Tibetan Buddhist master Lama Jampa Thaye.
- Please arrive by 10.15am for a 10.30am start and bring food for lunch (to share if you wish)
- Sessions: 10.30-11.30am / 12.00-1.00pm / 2.15-3.15pm / 3.45-4.45pm
- Facility Fee: £15 (cash only) for the full day – concessions available
