SUMMARY:What's So Great About Compassion? |  A Rainbow Sangha Day Retreat
DESCRIPTION:A day spent playing with and exploring the Buddhist ideas of love and compassion and how they can be used to enhance our daily life and our Buddhist practice. Our exploration of practice will look at how these are used in Mahayana Buddhism to set the foundation for generating great compassion. \nBuilding off the momentum of our gatherings last year\, this space seeks to affirm and uplift LGBTQ+ members of the Jamyang community. We are creating a place where people can see themselves reflected in the stories of their fellow students and practitioners\, while unpacking the nuances of their lived experience in a conducive and supportive setting. \n  \nAbout the Facilitator\nMike Murray is a 68 year old gay man\, a Buddhist and a volunteer at Jamyang London\, who has been connected with the Centre for around 45 years. A believer in the benefits of face to face\, person to person\, communication he has over the years facilitated various groups looking at different topics in Tibetan Buddhism.\n\nA follower of His Holiness the Dalai Lama\, he has studied with a number of Tibetan Buddhist masters in the Geluk tradition.\n\n  \nSchedule\nSaturday 28th November: \n\n10am-12 – Morning Session\n12-2pm – Lunch\n2-4pm – Afternoon Session\n\n  \n  \nIs this for me?  \nAll are welcome\, whether experienced students or completely new to Buddhism.  \nThis session is specifically for LGBTQ+ identified people.
