New series: What is it like to live in a different world: the Buddhist paradigm
Starts: Tuesday 13th May 2025
Short talks outlining the Buddhist approach to living in the world, and its underlying philosophy for achieving happiness and contentment for ourselves and others.
How does Buddhism equip us to deal with the challenges of everyday life? What is its liberating and radical take on reality ? We shall explore the answers to these two questions – and the relation between them.
Each session begins with calm-abiding meditation, a platform for engaging with the teachings.
The sessions are run by a long-standing student of the meditation master and scholar Lama Jampa Thaye.
There are some recorded short talks on Buddhist topics by Lama Jampa Thaye here: LamaJampaThaye – YouTube
