Can ancient Buddhist cosmology and contemporary astronomy be reconciled? Several years ago, Karma Thinley Rinpoche, great scholar and master of the Sakya and Kagyu traditions, wrote this essay in Tibetan concerning the reconciliation of ancient Buddhist and modern scientific views on cosmology and astronomy. Originally published on his website, a translation by Dechen Foundation can be found at Dechen Foundation Books. Initiation of Black Manjushri*2.30pm to 4.30pmThis initiation belongs to famed Golden Dharmas of the Sakya tradition. The system of meditation on the black form of Manjushri, the embodiment of wisdom, is especially valued as a remedy to many obstacles that can confront us in dharma practice and work. *Please note that in order to receive the initiation you must have made a formal commitment to the Buddhist path through taking refuge. If you would like to do this beforehand please contact the centre by emailing: bristol@dechen.org Fee: £25 (teaching and initiation); £15 (teaching only ending 1.00pm). Concessions by request.
