SUMMARY:Medicine Buddha Puja
DESCRIPTION:About Medicine Buddha Puja \n\nIn Person Only\n\nPujas are rituals in which consecrated offerings – such as food\, water\, light and incense – are made to an enlightened being for the sake of creating conditions for progress on the spiritual path\, as well as removing obstacles. These offerings are made alongside prayer and chanting. \nThe seven Medicine Buddhas\, attainers of bliss\, strongly prayed for the temporal and ultimate happiness of yourself and all sentient beings. They vowed that their prayers would be actualized during these degenerate times when the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha are in decline. As the buddhas’ holy speech is irrevocable\, you can wholly trust in their power to quickly grant blessings to help all sentient beings in these degenerate times\,” Lama Zopa Rinpoche instructs  “If you pray to Guru Medicine Buddha\, you will quickly accomplish all that you wish. Just hearing the holy name of Guru Medicine Buddha and the sound of his mantra closes the door to rebirth in the suffering lower realms. It is written in the scriptures that you should not have a two-pointed mind (doubt) with regard to these benefits”. \nHow can I join?\nJust turn up!

SUMMARY:Compassionate Activism | with Venerable Robina
DESCRIPTION: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 Venerable Robina for this two-part online teaching all about how to practice Compassionate Activism\, and why doing so is especially relevant for our time. \nWhat is Compassionate Activism? \nThe point of Buddhist practice is finally to help others: compassion in action. But our actions – helping our next-door neighbour or helping stop the destruction of the planet – need to be grounded in wisdom. As the Dalai Lama says\, “Compassion is not enough; we need wisdom.” \nFirst we need to develop our own marvelous potential to live our lives with self-confidence\, contentment\, and courage. The key to success is to recognize our own suffering and how it’s caused by our own attachment and anger\, as well as other unhappy emotions. We become intimately familiar with our mind – the whole spectrum of our thoughts\, feelings\, and emotions – and learn to unravel and deconstruct them and\, finally\, change them. As Lama Zopa Rinpoche says\, “We can mold our mind into any shape we like.” \nNow we can go beyond our narrow sense of self and realize everyone else is in the same boat\, now we can begin to be of benefit to others. This brings optimism and confidence that every small action counts and we develop the courage to never give up. The great bodhisattvas are fierce in their determination to never give up on sentient beings. \nAbout the Teacher \nOrdained since the late 1970s\, Ven. Robina has worked full time since then for Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s FPMT. Over the years she has served as editorial director of Wisdom Publications\, editor of Mandala Magazine\, executive director of Liberation Prison Project\, and as a touring teacher of Buddhism. Her life and work with prisoners have been featured in the documentary films Chasing Buddha and Key to Freedom. \nSchedule \nSession 1: Friday 20th March\, 7pm – 8:30pm GMT\nSession 2: Friday 27th March\, 7pm – 8:30pm GMT \nHow to Join? \nThese teachings are offered entirely online. Please register below to receive the zoom link. \nDonation \nJamyang operates on a generosity model. Please select the donation option that is most suitable for your situation. \nJamyang is a non-profit charitable organisation that relies on the kindness of our donors\, including students and community members. The donations\, or Dana\, given when registering for events and teachings support the Centre’s operations\, allowing us to deliver our activities. If you’re able to give a little more\, that’s wonderful; if a little less\, that’s fine too. These donations help with essentials like feeding residential volunteers\, housing our monastics\, and keeping our doors open. However\, we wish to emphasise that the Dharma is always offered freely and no-one is ever excluded because of their financial status\, please do not hesitate to request a reduced rate. \n\nFor Monastics \nWe would like to offer this teaching to ordained sangha members free of charge. If you are ordained sangha please register here.

SUMMARY:Climate Café
DESCRIPTION:What is a Climate Café?\nA Climate Café is a group-directed discussion of climate change with no agenda; an informal and confidential conversation\, supported by facilitators. \nAt a Climate Café everyone is welcome to join the conversation whether you are involved in climate action or not.  \nClimate cafés are open to anyone aged 18 or over who is worried about the climate and ecological crisis. A safe space to share\, learn\, talk and listen. \nFor more information about climate cafés\, you can read more at Climate Psychology Alliance. \nWhat attendees are saying about the Climate Café\n“I was fortunate to attend the Climate Café at Jamyang and was really glad I did. Quite different from what I expected (thought we would be sharing ideas on how to make a difference etc)\, rather we focused on deep connection and listening to our own and everyone’s feelings. I left the event at peace and inspired to continue on the journey. Grateful to Liz and Cynthia for beautifully holding the space and to everyone who attended – thank you and look forward to the next one” – Barbara \n“This was my first time at a climate cafe and at first I questioned the value of just talking about my feelings around the climate crisis\, I wanted to talk about what we were going to do about it! But I soon realised that deep self-enquiry into how the crisis affects me on an emotional level was absolutely what I needed\, and precisely what’s missing from so much of the public conversation around climate change. Liz and Cynthia were so skilful in holding the space and guiding the conversation. I would fully recommend”. – Freddie \n“Thank you for offering this space to connect with others around the climate emergency. I found the Climate Cafés a powerful reminder that we are not alone\, that others share similar concerns and deep care for our environment and its beings. Connecting with others in this intimate and safe way created a great sense of belonging and\, well\, joy”. –  Drolma \nAbout the Facilitators\nAnissa is a Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a deep passion for supporting individuals affected by adoption and trauma\, including trauma resulting from natural disasters. She is also interested in the psychological impact of climate change\, recognizing its profound effects on our well-being and mental health. \nMaeva is a student and volunteer at Jamyang and works as a midwife for the NHS. She has experience facilitating groups and workshops\, and is inspired to hold spaces where members of the community can come together to explore and discuss the emotional impact of the climate and ecological crisis. \nHow to Join?\nBook on Eventbrite \nWe suggest saving your spot ahead of time to help the facilitator to organise the event. \nDonations are welcome: Jamyang relies on the kind donations of those who attend activities in the centre. The funds enable us to offer this type of class on a regular basis – we thank you for generosity. \nFor any questions about this event\, please contact the organisers by emailing climatecafe.london43@gmail.com
