Another week over – thank you to Jared and Bill for this week’s meditations and to everyone who came along on any of the days.

Meeting ID: 979 3195 4336
Passcode: 8Lpvs2There isn’t any homework set for next week, so feel free to suggest topics from any of the Basic Programme weekends that you’d like to cover.
Ok, then we’ll have the next session on Thursday 27 May at 9am (UK time).
Starting next week (on bank holiday Monday!), I’ll open the Zoom session on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and we’ll see how it goes.
(The forum is still acting oddly when I try to post, so apologies if this ends up being a repeat).
Thank you to everyone who has led a meditation session so far (Laura, Lars, Bill and Jared). It has made a huge difference over what I can manage on my own.
I’m fine with Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. There will be occasional days that I can’t do, but we’ll worry about that if/when they happen. There is no pressure to come to every session.
Should we start the extra Wednesday session next week? We have quite a busy day this week, with the Precepts that morning, plus Morning Prayers and the Nagarjuna teaching in the evening. On the other hand, it would be an auspicious day to start…
Yes, the plan is to meet every Monday and Thursday. We’ll keep this thread up to date with any changes, though.
All the best!
Hi Katrin,
We are meeting again on Thursday at 9am. The plan is for Bill to lead us on a meditation on self-cherishing/cherishing others.
Time: Thursday, 20 May 2021, 9am (UK time)

Passcode: 8Lpvs2Jared, there was someone on the West Coast who couldn’t join UK morning meditations because of the time difference – I’ve posted a comment in the Jamyang Facebook group to let them know about this.
Hi Jared,
We’re meeting up again at 9am tomorrow (Thursday 13 May) and next Monday (17 May). It’s very early days, so we haven’t settled on particular days.
9am was chosen to be straight after morning prayers, but again this isn’t set in stone either.The link is on the last post on page 1 of this thread – would be delighted if you joined in.
Also, there are a couple of people who are interested in coming along but can’t make 9am (there is a post in the Jamyang Facebook group), so if the times for this group don’t work for you, there may well be enough people interested in another session at an earlier time.
It’s all work in progress!
Cheers,
Diana
Thanks to everyone who came along this morning, and to Laura for leading the meditation.
The next sessions are on Thursday and Monday at 9am UK time, same Zoom details. Everyone is welcome!

Passcode: 8Lpvs2Thanks Lars. If we have a few people in the session, then that would be great!
I’ll open a half-hour Zoom session after morning prayers on Monday (approx 9am UK time) for the next 2 weeks (10 & 17 May).
Laura, Katrin and anyone else, feel free to join me – no worries if you don’t/can’t.Topic: BP Informal Meditation Group

Passcode: 8Lpvs2I’m not capable of leading a mediation beyond putting up a slide with the topic on it and ringing a bell at the end, but if anyone would like to lead a meditation, that would be great. And if I’m on my own… that’s okay too. No pressure.
How does that sound, Laura? Do you have a preference for earlier or later?
I’m happy to open up a Zoom session before or after Morning Prayers on Monday and post the link here.
Diana
Any of those times would work for me.
Would Monday AM, before or after the Morning prayers, work for everyone? (7:55am- 8:25am or 9am-9:30am?) I’ve been very lax about attending those lately, so it would help me get to those too.
