Sadness Love Openness by Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche

We will base our small group discussions on Rinpoche’s book, emphasising how his teachings apply to our everyday lives. ‘This easy-to-read manual ... teaches us how to honestly explore and deal with our own hang-ups and neuroses. Through knowing our own true nature as aware and compassionate, we can progress, step-by-step, on the Buddhist path and use Rinpoche’s pithy wisdom along the way as a touchstone'.

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.
