SUMMARY:What Happens When We Die? Meditation on Death | Geshe Tenzin Namdak
DESCRIPTION:About this teaching\nThe Buddha taught that of all mindfulness meditations\, mindfulness of death is supreme. Even the moment of his own death was used as a teaching on the ephemerality of our existence. The Buddha’s last words exhorted his disciples to remember that all compounded phenomena are subject to decay\, to spur them on in their quest for liberation. \nContemplation on death can be a destabilising exercise\, but like many things that push us out of our comfort zone\, great value can often be found in it. When we truly internalise the notion of our own impermanence\, we are motivated to make the most of our lives\, cultivating a disinterest in the superficial and mundane pursuits that we normally spend our days being distracted by. And when we reflect deeply on the subjective experience of the dying process\, outlined in meticulous detail in the Buddhist scriptures\, we prepare ourselves for our own final hour. \nDrawing upon the traditional meditation structure of the three roots used to develop conviction in the inevitability of our death\, as well as the schema of the death dissolutions which delineates the stages of consciousness that occur at the time of death\, Geshe Tenzin Namdak will equip us with techniques to meditate on this profound topic. \nAbout Geshe Tenzin Namdak\nAfter completing his university studies in Hydrology\, Geshe Namdak worked as an environmental researcher in the Netherlands. He began studying Buddhism at Maitreya Institute and was eventually ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama before completing the 20-year Geshe degree at Sera Jey monastic university in India\, as well as the traditional one-year Vajrayana study program at Gyume Tantric College. He is now Resident Teacher of Jamyang London Buddhist Centre. \nSchedule \n\n10:00 – 11:30\n12:00 – 13:00\n14:30 – 15:30\n16:00 – 17:00\n\nRecordings\nRecordings of the sessions will be made available to those who have registered shortly after the event. \nHow to join\nBook your ticket below. Attend in-person or online.

SUMMARY:The Faults of Meat | with Geoffrey Barstow
DESCRIPTION:Should all Buddhists be vegetarian? This is a question that has been debated amongst Buddhist practitioners for millennia\, and is still very much debated today. Nowadays\, with a large scale global meat industry and for the most part\, a somewhat removed relationship with the food we consume\, our practice of non-harm\, compassion and dependent origination seem all the more necessary\, and yet all the more complex. The question of Buddhist food ethics extends to all forms of consumption\, not limited to vegetarianism and seems at least as pertinent now as it was during the time of the Buddha. \nMost of us are unable to opt out of the global system of food production\, but we are able to choose how we live within that system. This is why Jamyang made the recent move to become a plant-based Dharma centre. It was a response to the situation we find ourselves in\, a response that is grounded in our practice of non-harm\, compassion and dependent origination. \nWe hope that this conversation will shed light on these issues and inspire us to be continually mindful of what and how we consume. \n \nJoin us for what promises to be a fascinating conversation about Buddhist food ethics\, with scholar and author Geoffrey Barstow as he talks about his latest publication\, ‘The Faults of Meat: Tibetan Buddhist Writings on Vegetarianism.’ \nAbout the speaker\nGeoffrey Barstow is an American religious historian and Buddhist scholar whose research focuses on Tibetan Buddhist ideas about animal ethics and vegetarianism. He is assistant professor of religious studies at Oregon State University and a student of Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche. \nRecordings\nA recording of the session will be made available to those who have registered shortly after the event. \nHow to join\nBook your ticket below to receive the Zoom link for this session. You can also join us at the centre to participant in this online conversation together from the gompa. Please donate what you can\, your donations help to cover our costs so that we may continue bringing talks like this to the community. The recommended donation for this session is £10.

SUMMARY:Chandrakirti's Entering the Middle Way
DESCRIPTION:About this series\nWednesday evenings at Jamyang are dedicated to courses in advanced philosophy. Join our Resident Teacher\, Geshe Tenzin Namdak\, as he helps us investigate the finer points of the philosophy of emptiness and the Buddhist understanding of the nature of reality from various perspectives\, and through the works of the great Buddhist scholars of the past. \nAbout this course\nOver two years\, we’ll embark on a profound voyage through a text of incomparable stature within the Buddhist cannon: Entering the Middle Way\, by the revered master\, Chandrakirti. We are often reminded by Geshe Namdak that His Holiness the Dalai Lama reads Chandrakirti every day\, a clear testament to the indispensability of his work for all Buddhist practitioners training in the Nalanda tradition. \nIn Entering the Middle Way\, Chandrakirti interprets and upholds Nagarjuna’s philosophical position as put forward in his root text on wisdom\, while drawing upon the structure of the Ten Grounds Sutra to supplement this analysis of the nature of reality with an exposition of the bodhisattva grounds\, or the stages of realisation a practitioner must traverse on the way to enlightenment. Chandrakirti\, therefore\, ‘enters’ Nagarjuna’s text by way of the profound view\, as well as the vast activities of the bodhisattva. The comprehensive treatment of both method and wisdom\, as well as Chandrakirti’s formidable scholarship\, are just a couple of the reasons why Entering the Middle Way has endured as one of the most prized treasures of the Nalanda tradition. \nGeshe Namdak will open the door to this text and reveal its many riches to us over the span of two years. It goes without saying that this is a very special and rare opportunity\, which we are delighted to share with you. Please join us on what we anticipate will be an incredibly meaningful journey. \nAbout Geshe Tenzin Namdak\nAfter completing his university studies in Hydrology\, Geshe Namdak worked as an environmental researcher in the Netherlands. He began studying Buddhism at Maitreya Institute and was eventually ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama before completing the 20-year Geshe degree at Sera Jey monastic university in India\, as well as the traditional one-year Vajrayana study program at Gyume Tantric College.
