Sunday Meditation Class

With great kindness Geshe Jampa Tharchin will give a commentary on the text Seven Point Mind Training by the famous Kadampa scholar, Geshe Chekawa. These Sunday classes will show us how to live a happy and successful life.
If our mind is pure and peaceful we will be happy, regardless of our external conditions. When it is unsettled, we will never find happiness, no matter how much we try to change our external conditions.
The method to make our mind pure and peaceful is to train in meditation. The Sunday meditation class covers methods to achieve this.
Geshela emphasizes the Five Powers to be cultivated

The Power of Intention
The Power of the White Seed
The Power of Familiarity
The Power of Repudiation
The Power of Prayer/Dedication

Family friendly. Followed by a vegetarian lunch!
Everyone warmly welcome. Just drop in!

Day of Miracles
2026-03-03 10:00 - 17:00
Please join us in the Nalanda Hall at 10am. Geshe Tharchin will give a talk on the Life of the Buddha and His Miracles
The Fifteen Days of Miracles commemorate the special time when Guru Shakyamuni Buddha showed miraculous powers in order to subdue six tirthikas, or non-Buddhist teachers, who lacked faith in him, and to inspire more faith in his followers. It begins on Losar (February 18, 2026) and culminates on Chotrul Duchen (March 3, 2026), the full moon on the lunar calendar.
All fifteen days are merit multiplying days, when the merit of virtuous actions performed on each of these days is multiplied by 100 million, according to the vinaya text Treasure of Quotations and Logic.
