Courses for January 2010

Start the New Year as you mean to go on with the practice of Qigong and Meditation to decrease stress, increase energy and improve health of body, mind and spirit.

Ani Rinchen will give instruction in simple but effective qigong exercises and meditations. The course is suitable for those wishing to refresh their practice or as an introduction for beginners who may wish to join the fortnightly Wednesday evening class starting on January 20th.

As space is limited please book early to reserve your place.

Gelong Thubten has been a monk at Samye Ling Monastery for sixteen years and recently furthered his training by participating in a four year retreat.

In this one day course Thubten will explain the methods and background of Vajrayana deity practice, one of the major methods of Tibetan Buddhism. He will explain what ‘visualisation’ means and give practical, step-by-step advice on how to develop the ability to visualise.

The role of Vajrayana ritual and its effect on our minds will be explored to discover for ourselves how these skilful methods are so effective in pacifying our neuroses and helping us to develop a stable, contented and joyful mind.
