Last Friday night's lecture Class was quite a hit! 🎉

We explored 'What happens when we die?' ☠

We started by sharing with each other what we think comes next and why we think that.

Gen Tubchen then shared the Buddhist explanation of the death process and associated understandings. This led to some very positive discussions which were then continued over refreshments.

The next Friday night Lecture is on May 15 and the subject is: Truth and Reality.

🤍Nyungnay Retreat & Special Offering to the Spiritual Guide Puja🤍

This week at the Centre we enjoyed celebrating Buddha's Enlightenment Day with the very precious Nyungnay Fasting Retreat and special Offering to the Spiritual Guide prayers. It was lovely to engage in these very blessed and meaningful practices.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso for providing everything that we need for our spiritual development. 🙏💗

Over Easter Gen Tubchen guided a long weekend retreat at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in the Lake District.

One of our Tuesday evening students, jasmine, attended with her Mum and shared some photos with us.

They had a wonderful time, met interesting people, leaned a lot and enjoyed the peaceful environment.

The next weekend away retreat with Gen Tubchen will be in Perthshire June 19-21
