This five-session course will focus on the many ways we can apply the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva teaching into our daily practices of ‘self-care for the long-haul’-for ourselves and for all sentient beings - even in the light of climate change, pandemics, political upheaval and all else we are dealing with in the here and now!
Lama Döndrup will be giving the formal refuge vow ceremony online for those who would like to take the formal refuge vow for the first time or who would like to renew their vow. The Refuge Ceremony goes back to the time of the Buddha. It is a ceremony where we formally make a vow to turn our body, speech and mind towards awakening, towards our true nature or Buddha Nature.
Weekly Meditations are online and offered at no charge (donations always welcome)
