Meditations on the Path to Enlightenment

DATE: Thursdays from 22nd September
TIME: 7pm-8pm
LOCATION: Zoom
LEVEL: Buddhist Meditation – All Welcome
SUGGESTED DONATION: £6

Lamrim (steps on the path to enlightenment) is a graded series of meditations taught by the Buddha to help us along our path. Starting from relying correctly on a teacher and the preciousness of our human rebirth, through to the brave mind of compassion and wisdom of ultimate reality. His Holiness Dalai Lama has advised his students to meditate on the lamrim daily as he does, using the brief lamrim texts by the Tibetan master and founder of the Gelug school Je Tsongkhapa based on the work of Jowo Atisha.

Khadro-la says: “Practicing Dharma is not merely collecting intellectual knowledge but to be practiced from the heart…You need to understand well the teachings of lam-rim and lojong (mind training). Even if you take 100 initiations and have 100 ritual implements, as long as you don’t fully comprehend mind-training and lam-rim, you will deceive yourself and you will become disappointed. Therefore, it is very necessary to engage in the study of mind-training and lam-rim”

This new evening slot of six sessions will be led by Thomas Johnston and will include reflections on the entire path to enlightenment.
