Day & Evening Classes Mondays to Fridays
This series of classes will explore why happiness and peaceful states of mind are short-lived, whilst negative states of mind, such as irritation and upset seem to appear with remarkable ease.
We will get to the root of our anger problem and look at methods to solve this through the practice of patience.
Meditation is a powerful technique for developing a peaceful mind and inner good qualities. The meditation workshops provide quality meditation with clear explanations of the skills required to create stillness within, but are shorter and lighter than our day courses.
A meditation workshop consists of two sessions that include guided meditations, explanation, and discussion. The emphasis is on practicing meditation and applying the experience we gain from it to improve the quality of our life.
Workshops are a perfect way to both relax and develop internally. They are ideal for those who are new to meditation and those who would like to improve.
Enjoy calming guided meditations and short teaching followed by a speciality brunch at our World Peace Café, and a chance to meet others interested in meditation.
At the same time a Children’s Meditation Class will be held in our second meditation room making meditation accessible for young people. The children’s classes include a short teaching, guided meditation and craft activities.

By engaging in the Guru Yoga practised in conjunction with Je Tsongkhapa we can purify negativity, accumulate merit, receive blessings, and attain a very special compassion, wisdom, and spiritual strength. By relying upon the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden we can overcome obstacles to our practice and create favourable conditions. These two practices are the very essence of Kadampa Buddhism. This puja includes a 15-minute silent meditation.
We use the prayer booklet, ‘Heart Jewel,’ for this puja. If you want to buy your own copy you can purchase it online; an electronic version of the booklet is available as well as the paper version – https://tharpa.com/uk/heart-jewel-booklet.html
