Buddhism and Meditation In Daily Life | Saturday 18th Oct | 10am - 12pm

In-Person & Online

On "The Effectiveness of Spiritual Practice".

No matter where we are on a path, it is always beneficial to pause and seek orientation. Words like practice, path, and goal are often used as if their meaning were self-evident, yet without reflection they can remain vague. What kind of effect is my practice having? What am I actually moving toward?

This course will explore some of these important questions from multiple angles, drawing on different Buddhist approaches. Our aim is to clarify not only how practice is described, but how it can be evaluated and embodied—so that its fruits are evident both in ordinary living and in the unfolding of the spiritual path.

MEDITATION & TEACHINGS SERIES: Cultivating Balance, Clarify & Joy In Practice

Sundays 26 Oct, 23 Nov, 14 Dec

In-person & Online

When it comes to understanding the Buddhist path, Enlightenment can often seem a vague idea or a far-away state of being. However, in this series of talks, Rinpoche shows us how understanding enlightenment is integral to understanding practice…

The Seven Factors of Enlightenment are indispensable on the path.

They provide both the means and the inspiration to develop deep appreciation for practice and confidence in the efficacy of the Buddhist path in terms of spiritual transformation.

In this audio series, Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche IX starts with the Seven Factors of Enlightenment; explores emotional and conceptual obstacles; and emphasizes cultivating embodied compassion and wisdom for our benefit and that of others.

Part 1 (26 Oct): The Seven Factors of Enlightenment

Part 2 (23 Nov): The Psychology of Compassion, Buddha-Nature and the Destructive Factors of Mind

Part 3 (14 Dec): The Bodhisattva Path: Compassion in Action, Wisdom, and the Six Pāramitās

"What are The Six Paramitas and how do they help your life?" | Buddhism and Meditation In Daily Life | Saturday 23 Aug 10am-12:30pm

In-Person & Online

On The Six Paramitas

In this workshop, we will explore how to bring the Mahayana concept of the “Six Paramitas” to life and into our lives, on and off the meditation cushion.

What are the Six Paramitas and how can they help?

Normally, the way we engage with the world (and with ourselves), is very self-oriented. According to Buddhism, this overfocus on the self lies at the root of our suffering.

As a remedy, the Six Paramitas offer a way to go beyond our usual sense of self and help us to cultivate essential qualities that support both personal growth and our ability to benefit others.

The focus of this workshop will be on the practical applications of The Six Paramitas, and will include the practice of meditation.
