This course is segmented into sets of classes on a particular theme, following the chapters of ‘The New Meditation Handbook’ by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, but the classes themselves are designed to be self-contained so it is also possible to drop-in. The content of these classes is more in-depth than some of our other general programme classes. It is not essential but you may find it helpful to read the introduction of the book to support you in your learning before attending the class.

Everybody welcome!

The Dance of Appearance & Emptiness
With Gen Kelsang Tubchen
December 4, 11, 18
Buddha said that all phenomena are like dreams, like illusions. An understanding of the true nature of reality allows us to live lightly, with the flexibility of mind to respond to every situation in a constructive way. Through meditating on emptiness with the concentration of tranquil abiding, eventually we can become completely free from all suffering and pain and enjoy the lasting happiness of enlightenment. These classes are based on the chapters Tranquil Abiding, Superior Seeing and Relying Upon a Spiritual Guide in ‘The New Meditation Handbook’ by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
