SUMMARY:Chittamani Tara Puja
DESCRIPTION:Chittamani (Mind Jewel) Tara\, is the Highest Yoga Tantra form of Tara\, the female Buddha. \nThe benefits of Tara practice according to Lama Zopa Rinpoche: \nTara 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. \nThis practice is restricted to practitioners who hold a Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment \nPlease register using the link below before attending this event. \nAs part of our commitment to care for your spiritual wellbeing\, and that of our teachers and the center as a whole\, we kindly ask everyone who wishes to engage in this practice answer a few short questions about their practice background.

SUMMARY:Āryadeva’s Four Hundred Verses
DESCRIPTION:About this course \nOver the course of seven months\, we will undertake a close and contemplative study of one of the most profound yet practically oriented texts of the Madhyamaka tradition: Four Hundred Verses on the Middle Way (Catuḥśataka) by the great master Āryadeva. \nComposed as a complete path of training\, the Four Hundred Verses occupies a unique place within Mahayana Buddhism. While deeply rooted in Nāgārjuna’s vision of emptiness\, it is especially valued for its step-by-step guidance on how to transform the mind in preparation for realizing the ultimate truth. For this reason\, the text has long been cherished as both a philosophical treatise and a manual for yogic training. \nThe text is structured into sixteen chapters of twenty-five verses each. The first eight chapters focus on the collection of merit\, systematically dismantling unwholesome patterns of thought and behaviour that obstruct the path. Without this ethical and psychological groundwork\, Āryadeva makes clear\, realization of emptiness is impossible. The second eight chapters then turn to the collection of wisdom\, offering incisive reasoning that leads the practitioner toward a correct understanding of reality according to the Madhyamaka view. \nĀryadeva famously summarises this progression as follows: \nAt first\, turn away from non-virtue;\nIn the middle\, dispel misconceptions of self;\nFinally\, go beyond all philosophical views –\n One who understands this is wise indeed.\n (Four Hundred Verses\, VIII.15) \nThroughout the course\, Geshe Namdak will illuminate how the Four Hundred Verses functions as a bridge between ethical self-transformation and profound philosophical insight\, and how it complements and prepares the ground for later Madhyamaka classics such as Entering the Middle Way and Commentary on Bodhicitta. \nThis course offers a rare opportunity to engage deeply with a text that trains the mind not only to understand emptiness\, but to become fit to realize it. \n\n  \nAbout the Author\nĀryadeva (2nd century CE) is one of the most influential figures in the history of Mahayana Buddhism. Born in Sri Lanka\, he became a principal disciple of Ārya Nagarjuna\, and is revered as one of the founders of the Madhyamaka school. His works are studied extensively across the Indo-Tibetan\, Chinese\, and Zen traditions\, and he is traditionally listed among the seventeen great paṇḍitas of Nalanda. \n\n  \nAbout the Teacher\nGeshe Tenzin Namdak completed his university studies in Hydrology before working as an environmental researcher in the Netherlands. He later began formal Buddhist studies at Maitreya Institute\, was ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama\, and went on to complete the rigorous twenty-year Geshe degree at Sera Jey Monastic University in India. He also completed the traditional one-year Vajrayana study programme at Gyumé Tantric College. \nGeshe Namdak is currently the Resident Teacher at Jamyang London Buddhist Centre. \n\n  \nSchedule\n\n\n\nMay – November 2026\nTuesdays | 18:30 – 20:00\nStarting Tuesday 5th May\n\n\n\n\n  \nIs this course for me?\nThis is an intermediate level course\, suitable for students who have a foundational understanding of Tibetan Buddhism and an interest in deepening their study and practice. Familiarity with Lam Rim teachings will be essential. \n\n  \nHow to Join\nEnrolment for this course is open! \nRegister here\n \n\nDonation\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

SUMMARY:Calm Abiding and Special Insight
DESCRIPTION:About this course\nIn this course\, we will explore the profound and practical teachings on Calm Abiding (śamatha) and Special Insight (vipaśyanā) as presented in the Lam Rim tradition\, drawing primarily on the instructions of Je Tsongkhapa\, one of Tibet’s greatest scholar-yogis. \nCalm Abiding and Special Insight form the very heart of Buddhist meditation practice. Calm Abiding develops a stable\, clear\, and joyful mind capable of remaining effortlessly on its object\, while Special Insight employs that focused mind to penetrate the nature of reality through wisdom. According to the Mahayana tradition\, liberation and enlightenment can only arise through the union of these two. \nOur principal source text will be Lam Rim Chen Mo (The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment)\, Tsongkhapa’s magnum opus and an indispensable guide for practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism. In this monumental work\, Tsongkhapa brings together the full breadth of the Buddha’s teachings\, sutra and tantra\, method and wisdom\, into a single\, coherent path. \nThe sections on Calm Abiding and Special Insight are especially renowned for their clarity and precision. Tsongkhapa carefully outlines the stages of mental development\, the obstacles that arise in meditation\, and the antidotes needed to overcome them. The text gives essential instruction on how a mind trained in serenity can be harnessed to cultivate insight into emptiness\, in accordance with the Madhyamaka view. \nAs Lama Tsongkhapa himself writes: \n“When looking for the profound meaning\, you will clearly see reality if you have both the wisdom that unerringly discerns the meaning of reality and an unmoving attention that stays as you wish on the object of meditation… This is why you need both serenity and insight.”\n — Lam Rim Chen Mo\, Vol. III \nThroughout the course\, Geshe Namdak will explain how these classical instructions can be applied by contemporary practitioners\, clarifying how meditation on Calm Abiding and Special Insight integrates with ethical discipline\, bodhicitta\, and the broader Lam Rim path. This course\, therefore\, provides both a philosophical foundation and a practical roadmap for deepening one’s meditation practice. \nAbout the Author\nJe Tsongkhapa (1357 – 1419 CE) was one of the greatest figures in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. A peerless scholar\, meditator\, and tantric yogi\, his vast body of work revitalised and systematised the Buddhist teachings in Tibet\, leading to the formation of the Gelug school\, which Jamyang London Buddhist Centre follows today. \nTsongkhapa is especially revered for his emphasis on combining rigorous reasoning with lived meditative experience\, and for presenting the Buddha’s teachings with extraordinary clarity and precision. Because of the depth and transformative power of his contributions\, Tsongkhapa is widely regarded as a “Second Conqueror”\, after Shakyamuni. \nAbout the Teacher\nGeshe Tenzin Namdak completed his university studies in Hydrology before working as an environmental researcher in the Netherlands. He later began formal Buddhist studies at Maitreya Institute\, was ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama\, and went on to complete the rigorous twenty-year Geshe degree at Sera Jey Monastic University in India. He also completed the traditional one-year Vajrayana study programme at Gyumé Tantric College. \nGeshe Namdak is currently the Resident Teacher at Jamyang London Buddhist Centre. \nSchedule\n\nMay 2026 – November 2027\nWednesdays | 18:30 – 20:00\nStarting Wednesday 6th May 2026\n\n  \nIs this course for me?\nThis is an intermediate to advanced level course\, suitable for students who have a strong foundational understanding of Tibetan Buddhism and an interest in deepening their study and practice. Familiarity with Lam Rim teachings will be essential.\n \nHow to Join\nEnrolment for this course is open! \nRegister here\n\n \nDonation\nJamyang is a non-profit charitable organisation that relies on the kindness of our donors\, including students and community members.

SUMMARY:How to Do Analytical Meditation: Practical Advice
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day of practical guidance on analytical meditation – an essential method in the Buddhist tradition for developing insight and clarity. In these three sessions\, Geshe-la will offer step-by-step instruction on how to work with the mind through inquiry\, reflection\, and reasoning\, helping transform intellectual understanding into direct experience. \nWhether you are new to meditation or looking to deepen your existing practice\, this day will provide accessible tools to help you engage more meaningfully with your inner life. \nSchedule:These teachings form day 1 of 2; a full weekend of teachings offered by Geshe Sherab. Day 1 schedule: \nSession 1: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AMSession 2: 11:30 AM – 12:30 PMSession 3: 14:00 PM – 15:00 PM \nYou will learn how to structure and sustain an analytical meditation practice with clarity and purpose. You will leave with practical tools to work with your thoughts and deepen insight in daily life. \nIf you’re interested in exploring the philosophical foundations behind these practices\, look out for our Day 2 event on teachings from the Diamond Cutter Sutra. \n \nAbout the Teacher \nGeshe Thubten Sherab was born in 1967 in a very small village in the province of Manang\, located in the western part of Nepal. His parents\, wishing to accumulate merit\, sought to have him join the monastery\, and he was accepted at Kopan Monastery by Lama Yeshe. He studied for his Geshe degree at Sera Je Monastery from 1987 to 2000\, drawing great inspiration from revered teachers\, including Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche\, by observing their practice and daily lives. \nAfter completing his studies and a year at Gyume Tantric College\, he spent two and a half years in the United States\, assisting FPMT’s International Office and teaching in places like Taos and Santa Fe\, before deciding to return to Nepal. This is how Geshe la’s adventure with New Mexico and The Buddhist Center Thubten Norbu Ling started. After serving as the headmaster of the Mount Everest School at Kopan Monastery in Nepal\,  and acting abbot of Kopan Monastery\, Geshe la returned to Santa Fe in 2014 to become our resident teacher. Geshe la plans to enter a long retreat in 2027. \nGeshe Thubten Sherab consistently emphasizes the importance of integrating one’s study and practice and encourages students to follow the constant advice of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa Rinpoche by integrating both elements for balanced spiritual growth for the benefit of all. \nAfter this 2026 teaching tour\, Geshe-la will be entering long term retreat\, so the teachings offered at Jamyang are a precious opportunity to make and deepen one’s connection with Geshe Sherab. \n  \nDonation\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.

Geshe la plans to enter a long retreat in 2027. \nGeshe Thubten Sherab consistently emphasizes the importance of integrating one’s study and practice and encourages students to follow the constant advice of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa Rinpoche by integrating both elements for balanced spiritual growth for the benefit of all. \nAfter this 2026 teaching tour\, Geshe-la will be entering long term retreat\, so the teachings offered at Jamyang are a precious opportunity to make and deepen one’s connection with Geshe Sherab. \n  \nDonation\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. \nMonastic practitioner?
