Join us for our summer walk to the beautiful Darent
Valley in Kent.
This corner of Kent offers many
attractions ~ hop and lavendar fields ~ a roman villa ~ Lullingstone
Castle and the pretty villages of Eynsford and Shoreham ~ riverside,
hilltop and wooded paths and ideal spots for a picnic or pub lunch.
(bring your own grub ~ or there will be time for bar food in a local
pub).
1. A
circular walk of approximately 10 miles to and from Eynsford (this will
require a return ticket to Eynsford).
2. A linear walk of approximately 5 miles starting from
Eynsford and returning to London from Shoreham (this will require a
single to Eynsford and a separate single from Shoreham).
3. Not sure which one to do until the
day? (this will require a return to Shoreham).
When you
decide which walk you want to do please purchase your train tickets
accordingly.
Please be sure to leave enough time to queue for tickets before
meeting up, as it will be busy on a Saturday.
You could try
purchasing tickets in advance on line. Also group travel options - if there are three or more
travelling to the same destination you can get tickets for the price of
two adults.
You must all be clear
that you wish to do the same choice of walk, or simply buy a return to
Shoreham which covers either walk option.

Jamyang Dharma Friends
Sunday 25 July
2.30 - 5.30pm
JDF
- cultivating the lotus in London
Jamyang's Dharma Friends ('JDF')
is a new idea developed by Jamyang-s student support group. It is an
invitation
to people who are trying to cultivate Buddhist wisdom and teachings in
their
lives to come together to share insight and to inspire and support each
other
on the path. This is an experimental space and while there will be some
structure provided in order to facilitate the afternoon, the aim will be
for
the group to develop its own direction, interests and activities over
time. If
you want to go deeper in your own practice by responding creatively to
the
challenges of life in Greater London and the commuter belt and are
willing to share, explore, play and
learn
as part of a group please come.
Work camp
Friday 20 - Thu 26 August
10am - 5pm
There is
always lots to do at Jamyang to keep the place going - from deep
cleaning the two temples, cleaning the windows,sweeping up, clearing up
the basement, to helping with admin
etc. Work comes in all shapes and sizes. If you can spare a few days
to help us spruce up for the year ahead please come along to help out.
There will be dorm accommodation for those who would like it, and your
evenings are free to enjoy the peace and calm of the Centre, to talk Dharma with friends, make new friends or to dip into the hustle and
bustle of the metropolis - as you wish.

We can use meditation to motivate ourselves for the day ahead,
bring focus and energizing clarity into our
lives, and to relax and regroup from the stresses and strains of our
lives.
New to the Summer
and Autumn programmes and building on the interest in meditation shown
by the people who came on the Tuesday and Thursday mornings as an
experiment we are offering mediation on Wednesdays mornings and
lunchtimes for early birds, city workers, busy parents with kids and
carers with limited time to get away. So if you live or work near or around
Kennington or the Elephant and Castle why not take forty minutes once a
week to energise and relax in the morning or at
lunchtime
