Courses 2024

Please make every effort to attend the full four days, as this is a transmission from a teacher to student, so it is important to be present in person. 

Through meditations on loving kindness, compassion, joy, equanimity and so forth, students will learn to awaken their hearts and discover their innate goodness, further enriching the calm state of mind and deepening their meditation through recognition of emptiness, which is the essence of the Mahayana.

1. Discover our inner goodness

• By discovering and cultivating love, compassion, appreciation or joy, and equanimity.

• By developing our potential through six perfect states of mind, the six paramitas.

• By training our mind to transform defilements into love and compassion.

2. Widen our motivation and outlook and gain deeper insight

• By learning about and meditating on bodhicitta, the awakening mind.

• By gaining an advanced insight that understands selflessness through direct experience.

To be eligible for this second year, you must have either:

1. attended the Year 1 in person (anywhere in the world)

2. or completed the 50 hours of homework for Joy of Living 1

3. or being a Mahamudra Ocean of Definitive Meaning student by His Holiness Tai Situ Rinpoche.

For those new to Buddhism, the practice commitment is to practice at least 10 minutes every day for a minimum of 30 consecutive days. For those who are already practicing the Buddha Dharma, their actual practice will work as the commitment.

During the year, there will be follow-up meetings with the Centre's resident teacher, Choje Lama Rabsang, so you will have an opportunity to ask questions, get clarification and support for your practice.
