“The minute you live by the 16 Guidelines, your life will change” said Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
The 16 Guidelines are the first initiative of Essential
Education, which combines Buddhist philosophy and psychology with
complementary material from other spiritual and wisdom traditions, and
from the natural and social sciences. The Guidelines are universal,
adaptable, and suitable for people of any culture or faith.
This interactive and experiential 2-day workshop will offer:
*Inspiration and tools for incorporating the 16 Guidelines into your personal and working life
*An introduction to Essential Education resources and methodologies
*The opportunity to link up with 16 Guidelines practitioners worldwide
The
workshop will be led by Rasmus Hougaard, a Danish organisational
consultant who is a student and Board member at the FPMT Centre in
Copenhagen. Rasmus is the author of the 16 Guidelines Study Programme,
which can be downloaded from www.essential-education.org.

 The
16 Guidelines for a Happy Life are “ideas to make life better” that
played a crucial part in transforming Tibet from a warlike nation into
a civilisation renowned for its peace and serenity. During this Friday
evening classes you will have an opportunity to explore each of the
Guidelines individually.
In
the seventh century AD, the great Tibetan King, Songtsen Gampo had anchange of heart. Abandoning his successful career as a
military leader, he introduced a new legal system, built schools and
temples, and invited philosophical and spiritual teachers from
neighbouring India to teach people how to be happy.
More information can be found on www.16guidelines.org
The
16 Guidelines have been developed by the Foundation for Developing
Compassion and Wisdom, an educational non-profit set up under the
guidance of Lama Zopa Rinpoche to take forward the late Lama Thubten
Yeshe’s vision for a new kind of universal education. See www.essential-education.org
