About this event

In-person Only

A weekly meeting of Recovery Dharma, a peer-led group that uses Buddhist practices and principles to find freedom from the suffering of addiction. Our program uses The Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path as a guide for our recovery. Meetings are a chance to come together to support recovery through the practice of mindfulness, self-inquiry, meditation, study of the Dharma, listening to each other, and building community.
What can I expect?
Each meeting offers short readings, a 15-20 minute meditation, and group sharing in a compassionate, non-judgemental space. Our meetings are free, relying on the generosity of members to support our meeting space where possible. We ask attendees to respect the anonymity and confidentiality of all participants.
What this is for?
Recovery Dharma welcomes anyone who is looking to heal from addiction and addictive behavior, whether it involves substance use or process addictions like gambling, compulsive use of sex or relationships, technology, codependency, eating disorders, self-harm, or any obsessive or habitual pattern that creates suffering.
You do not have to identify as a Buddhist nor have any experience of meditation to attend; this is a program of empowerment and doesn’t ask us to believe in anything other than our own potential to change and heal.
About the facilitator
This meeting is facilitated by volunteers from the Recovery Dharma London Sangha.
Recovery Dharma is a Buddhist-inspired non-profit peer-led movement that is unified by our trust in the potential of each of us to heal from addiction. More information at recoverydharma.org

Course Details

Start Date: May 5th, 2025
Schedule: Mondays, 6:30-8:30 PM (UK)
Format: In-person & Online
Location: Jamyang London Buddhist Centre, Kennington
Teachers: Geshe Namdak & Ven. Gendun

About the Course
Have you ever wondered where modern practices like mindfulness and meditation come from? They have their roots in the timeless teachings of the Buddha, developed over centuries to help people cultivate peace, resilience, and wisdom in their lives. Discovering Buddhism is your opportunity to explore these ancient insights and discover how they remain profoundly relevant today.
Buddhist teachings may seem vast and complex at first glance, encompassing philosophy, psychology, and practical tools for living a meaningful life. Fortunately, great masters distilled these teachings into clear, structured paths to guide students step by step. This course introduces you to these practical frameworks, helping you make sense of the Buddhist path and its transformative potential.
Through Discovering Buddhism, you’ll explore essential topics like the mind, karma, meditation, and the art of living a compassionate life. Whether you’re looking to deepen your meditation practice, understand the workings of the mind, or simply find a greater sense of purpose, this course will give you the tools and understanding to start—or deepen—your journey.
The course is accessible to everyone, whether you’re completely new to Buddhism or already familiar with mindfulness and mental wellbeing. Taught by the highly respected Geshe Tenzin Namdak, and offered both in-person and online, it provides a supportive and welcoming environment to learn and grow.
Starting May 2025
Starting in May 2025, Discovering Buddhism will run every Monday evening at 6:30 pm, with options for both in-person and online study. This hybrid format ensures you can join wherever you are, whether you prefer the atmosphere of a classroom or the convenience of learning from home. Recording of each class will be made available for students in time-zones further afield so everyone can access these teachings.
The course will be led by two inspiring teachers: Geshe Tenzin Namdak, a renowned scholar and teacher of Buddhist philosophy, and Ven. Gendun, a dedicated monk from Nalanda Monastery with a wealth of experience in Buddhist study and practice. Together, they’ll provide clear guidance, relatable insights, and the opportunity to engage with centuries-old teachings in a way that feels relevant and accessible today
About the Teachers
Get to know Geshe Namdak and Ven. Gendun, your expert guides to Discovering Buddhism:

Geshe Tenzin Namdak
Resident Teacher at Jamyang
Geshe Tenzin Namdak brings a unique blend of academic rigor, scientific expertise, and deep spiritual practice to his teachings. After completing his university studies in Hydrology, he worked as an environmental researcher in the Netherlands. He began studying Buddhism at Maitreya Institute, eventually ordaining as a monk under His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
He went on to complete the prestigious 20-year Geshe degree—the equivalent of a PhD in Buddhist philosophy—at Sera Jey Monastic University in India, followed by the traditional one-year Vajrayana study program at Gyume Tantric College.

Venerable Gendun
Monk at Nalanda Monastery
Born in Sri Lanka and growing up in England, Ven. Tenzin Gendun studied at art school and finished a degree in illustration. After completing his tertiary studies, he traveled to India and met Tibetan Buddhism in 1991 through the kindness of Lama Zopa Rinpoche and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He was ordained in 1992, and then worked in FPMT centers in New Zealand.
Ven. Gendun moved to Nalanda Monastery in France in 2000 to deepen his studies. Since then, he has completed the FPMT Basic Program and Masters Program.

Frequently asked questions

How do I register / Sign Up?

Registration for Discovering Buddhism opens in April. Sign up to our newsletter, join the ‘Discovering Buddhism’ Whatsapp group, or follow our social channels for more info soon.

Is this course right for me?
Discovering Buddhism is perfect for anyone curious about exploring Buddhist teachings and practices in a structured and accessible way. Whether you’re completely new to Buddhism, already familiar with mindfulness or meditation, or looking to deepen your understanding, this course meets you where you are.

What is Dhana and the Generosity model?
Dhana is a Sanskrit word meaning generosity or giving. In Buddhism, it’s a foundational practice that cultivates an open heart and a sense of interconnectedness. The teachings of the Buddha are considered priceless, and offering them on the basis of dana reflects this principle.
At Jamyang, we follow a generosity-based model for our courses and events. This means we rely on your contributions to sustain the center and make these teachings accessible to everyone.

How long is the course?
The Discovering Buddhism course runs from May 5th 2025 to July 27th 2026. The course is 15 months in duration and is divided into 13 modules, each focused around a specific topic. To help make the course more manageable we have built in a few gaps in the schedule; these breaks will be during August, December, and April.

Do I have to sign up for every module?

No, you don’t need to sign up for every module! While the Discovering Buddhism course is designed as a complete program, with each module building on the last, you’re welcome to join for the topics that interest you most.

That said, committing to the full course provides a comprehensive understanding of the Buddhist path, and you’ll benefit from the continuity of learning with the same group of students. If you’re unsure, feel free to start with a single module and see how it resonates—there’s no obligation to continue beyond that.

What type of Buddhism do you teach at Jamyang?

At Jamyang, we teach Buddhism in the tradition of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism, which emphasizes compassion, wisdom, and the path to enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. This approach is rooted in the teachings of the great Indian masters like Nagarjuna and Atisha, passed down through Tibetan lineage masters such as Lama Tsongkhapa.

While grounded in these ancient traditions, our teachings are presented in a way that’s accessible and relevant to modern life. Whether you’re exploring meditation, Buddhist philosophy, or practical tools for living with more peace and purpose, our programs are designed to meet you wherever you are on your spiritual journey.
Our centre is affiliated with the global organisation ‘The Foundation for the preservation of the Mahayana Tradition’ (FPMT) founded by Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Our Spiritual Director is His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Are there learning resources and support available?

We provide a range of resources to help you get the most out of the Discovering Buddhism course:

Weekly Recordings: All classes are recorded, so you can revisit teachings at your own pace or catch up if you miss a session.
Course Materials: You’ll receive comprehensive handouts, readings, and worksheets for each module to deepen your understanding.
Facilitator and Teaching Assistant Support: Regular review sessions and assessments are led by experienced facilitators to help clarify and reinforce key concepts.
Discovering Buddhism WhatsApp Group: A dedicated space to connect with fellow students, share resources, and ask questions.
Recommended Readings: Curated book and article lists to expand your study of each topic.
Online Resources: Access to additional materials and suggested meditations to support independent practice.

These resources are designed to ensure you feel supported throughout the course, whether you’re joining in person or online.

About the Author
Arya Nagarjuna (2nd-3rd century) is widely regarded as the second Buddha and the trailblazer of the Madhyamika school of Buddhist philosophy. His coming was prophesied by Shakyamuni himself as the teacher who would appear when the karma of beings was ripe, to expound and clarify the Buddha’s profound teaching on emptiness.

About the Text
It is rare to find a classical text that exhibits such a well-balanced and coherent structure as the Bodhicittavivarana. Nagarjuna’s Commentary on Bodhicitta explains the two bodhicittas (conventional and ultimate), the two truths and interdependence, and delves into approaches for realizing emptiness.

About the Teacher
After 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.

Chittamani Tara Puja
2025-11-04 | In-person, The Old Courthouse, 43 Renfrew Road, London, London, SE11 4NA, United Kingdom
Chittamani (Mind Jewel) Tara, is the Highest Yoga Tantra form of Tara, the female Buddha.
The benefits of Tara practice according to Lama Zopa Rinpoche:
Tara is quick to grant success in obtaining the ultimate happiness of enlightenment. You receive much good merit, or cause of happiness; it prevents a suffering rebirth in your next life; you receive initiation from millions of buddhas; and you achieve enlightenment. Besides these, however, Tara practice has many other benefits. Reciting the Twenty-one Taras’ prayer with devotion, at dawn or dusk—or remembering Tara, singing praises and reciting mantras at any time of the day or night—protects you from fear and dangers, and fulfill all your wishes. If you pray to Tara, Tara is particularly quick to grant help.
This practice is restricted to practitioners who hold a Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment
