This is a one-year complete
introductory course to the practice of meditation comprised of six modules. The
course is designed to be of interest to those who wish to explore and deepen
their meditation practice, as well as to those new to meditation altogether.
If you are looking for a
comprehensive introduction to meditation you could make a commitment to the whole
course. Alternatively, you are equally welcome to drop into classes as and when
it is suitable for you.
Each
module covers one of six main areas of meditation practice. This term we will
be covering the following two modules.
Module 5
Bodhicitta– Developing the spirit of enlightenment
7 April – 19 May
Developing the ‘spirit of enlightenment’ or bodhicitta will be the subject of the
fifth module, using traditional Indo-Tibetan Mahayana Buddhist meditative
techniques. This module will also be looking at the Tibetan presentations of lojong or ‘mind training’ and finish by
beginning to explore imagination, visualisation and the deity yoga meditation
techniques that are unique to the Tantric path.
Module 6
Support for
meditation: the role of prayer, ritual and devotion
9 June – 29 July
The course will conclude in the sixth module by
considering the role of prayer, ritual and devotion as supports for Buddhist
meditation. In the context of generating energy conducive to meditation, there
will be an opportunity to learn and experience the basics of preliminary
prayers, the practice of making offerings, how to tend a shrine and the
‘turning over’ or dedication of the benefits of the practice.
Silent Meditation Group Thursdays 6.00pm, voluntary donation
London is a busy city and you sometimes need a quiet space to
calm your mind and cultivate awareness, this new class at Jamyang is ideal for
this purpose. This group will give you an opportunity to deepen your
meditation practice and experience the benefits of doing it regularly in a
group. The sessions are very simple, with little instruction and lots of time
to practice in silence.
