About the half-day course:

The mind that loves and cherishes others is extremely precious. Keeping such a good heart brings only happiness for ourself and all those around us.

This half-day course explores the difference between love and attachment and offers guided meditations that can be practised by anyone. With regular practice, these meditations help to develop greater peace of mind and happiness, and to improve our relationships with others through learning to love and cherish them.

The teacher for the course is English Buddhist nun Gen Kelsang Gakyi, resident teacher at KMC Nottingham. She has been studying and practicing Kadampa Buddhism for many years and presents Buddha’s teachings with warmth and clarity in a way that everyone can understand and is easy to put into practise in our busy daily lives.

The course is the third of three in our ‘Living Meditations’ series. CD’s from the series are available in our shop and also available from Tharpa.com  as digital downloads.

What does the half-day course consist of? 
The course comprises two classes with a mid-morning break. Each class includes an introduction, breathing meditation, instructions including explanation of the benefits of the practice and concludes with a second meditation. There is always time for questions and advice on how to improve your meditation after each class.

You are welcome to join us for as much or as little of the half-day as you wish. You do not have to have any previous knowledge or experience of meditation or Buddhism to enjoy and benefit from this course.
