A day of Buddhist meditation and study: freeing the heart and mind

We are delighted that Paul Rogers will return to North Devon this summer to lead another day of study and meditation on Saturday 19 July 2025.

Paul is a long standing student of Lama Jampa Thaye and coordinator of our Exeter Buddhist Group, Sakya Namgyal Ling.

“Parting from the Four Attachments”

Paul will be taking us through a commentary on “Parting from the Four attachments” a renowned Sakya teaching that condenses the whole bodhisattva path into four lines.

The study and practice of this teaching is founded on a comprehensive and powerful system of contemplative meditations. Following the path from the beginning, it enables us to deal with progressively more subtle attachments that can become obstacles to liberation. Tackling these will help us to: set out on and authentically practice the Buddhist path, become aware of our relationship and responsibilities to sentient beings, and understand how we are to view phenomena in general.

The day will be ideal for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of the Buddhist path.

The day will consist of four 1 hour sessions
Each session will involve sitting meditation, listening to a section of the teaching, and time for reflection and questions.

• Copies of the of the text will be available on the day.
