Monday Study and Practice Group

Monday Study and Practice Group
7–8.30pm

Our regular Monday evening group includes guided meditation, dharma study and discussion, and we also practise a traditional Tibetan Buddhist text. We continue until 25th March, and will resume after Easter on 15th April. The group is usually online with occasional teachings from Lama when he is at Gomde UK or Gomde Scotland.

We look forward to welcoming you online to this joint initiative with Gomde Scotland. Sessions last from 19.00–20.30.

The Four Noble Truths

Lama Öser has advised us to focus on The Four Noble Truths and other fundamental dharma topics, in the coming weeks and months. These four truths — of suffering, of the origin of suffering, of the cessation of suffering, and of the path leading to cessation — were set out by Buddha Shakyamuni in the first sermon he gave after his enlightenment. They form the basis of so much of later Buddhist teachings. Because they are so foundational, we will be covering them in detail. We begin this study in March, and will pay particular attention to how we can apply our understanding of them to our everyday lives.

Buddha Shakyamuni Practice

We conclude every session with the traditional Tibetan text, Buddha Shakyamuni The Treasury of Blessings in both Tibetan and English. Buddha Shakyamuni is the source of the authentic Dharma. Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche places special emphasis on the Buddha and the Buddha Shakyamuni sadhana forms part of our daily morning practice at Gomde UK and our Monday meditation group.
