Peace, Harmony & Healing | with Paula Chichester

March is International Women’s Month at Jamyang! An opportunity to spotlight some of the incredible female teachers in our rich tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Join Paula Chichester as she speaks about the healing power our practice can have for ourselves and the world around us.

Spiritual Practice for the Natural World

There are many spiritual practices that help us to feel a deeper sense of connection with the natural world, but to what extent can our actions truly make a difference to the world around us?

Some of the great masters of the past like Milarepa and Saint Francis of Assisi were well known for their affinity with animals and the natural world. Buddhism in general – and Tibetan Buddhism in particular – is rich with rituals and practices that seek to assist animals and spirits, either as acts of charity or supplication, or simply through the power of our positive intention. We do not need to be a great master to take part in these practices, we can learn them now and start to develop the confidence that we alone can make a difference.

Join Paula for what promises to be an inspiring and thought provoking evening exploring this topic in more depth.

About the Teacher

Paula Chichester is known for her friendly, experiential teaching style that evolved from 4 decades of full-time training in Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and meditation as well as diverse psycho-somatic healing arts from Asia and the West. Her ability to distil and impart the essence of these disciplines is inspired by her main teachers, Lama Thubten Yeshe and Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche. Paula is dedicated to help create a world culture of health, compassion, wisdom and joy.
