DEVELOPING BALANCE, DEVELOPING KINDNESS
with Clive Holmes


Sat 3 Dec – Sun 4 Dec £55

Our natural state is peaceful and kind. However due to our genetic inheritance and social conditioning, we can be out of touch with our basic goodness.

This weekend is offering simple and practical advice and exercises to bring out our latent qualities of balance and kindness. The Buddhist background to this is that these are the first two of the four limitless (or immeasurable) meditations; equanimity and loving kindness.

Both beginners and those with some experience of meditation will find this course useful. The course could be considered as stand alone but also runs in conjunction with the course on March 31st/April1st: Developing Compassion and Joy.

This event takes
place at
Spa Road Samye Dzong





CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR CLOSURE


17 Dec 2011 to 3 Jan 2012

The centre will be closed from 17 Dec to 3 Jan inclusive.

THE FOUR ORDINARY FOUNDATIONS - PART 2 IMPERMANENCE AND DEATH
With Gelong Trinley


Sat 3 Dec 2.15pm - 5pm £12

This is a core teaching which we ignore at our peril! We may prefer to hide from perhaps the only certainty of our existence, but unless we take its reality into our hearts we may never make the most of what life offers.

This is one of four afternoons. See February entry for more details.

Manor Place Samye Dzong
