SUMMARY:ENGLISH BEGINNER COURSE: SHAMATHA AND COMPASSION
DESCRIPTION:by: Zoë Tait-Sargent \n\n\n\nDATES: 19/11 17/12\, 21/01/24\, 18/02\, 17/03\, 21/04\, 19/05/24.Time: 10:00 to 11:15 AMLocation: Laan van Meerdervoort 200 A\, The Hague or JitsiLanguage: English \n\n\n\n\nCONTENTS \n\n\n\nShamatha meditation is the foundation for various Buddhist meditation forms and methods. Shamatha teaches us how to calm our constantly active mind and how to develop calmness\, clarity and concentration. Compassion is one of the four immeasurables. It is defined as the wish that others might be free from suffering and its causes. Our innate capacity for empathy is the source of that most precious of all human qualities. In this beginners course we will use the meditation on Avalokiteshvara to develop compassion. \n\n\n\nThe practical composition and constructive structure ensures that after the course you can continue to meditate independently at home with the help of the handouts. Meditating with each other is guided and then mainly in silence with feedback moments. We also pay attention to your posture. The course is given in the Sakya center and via the online platform Jitsi\, we meditate on a chair\, cushion or bench. Mats\, meditation cushions and benches are provided. Please bring your own pair of warm socks and/or shawl. \n\n\n\nCOST \n\n\n\n€ 10 per morning; 5 euros for people with a minimum income. If this is still too burdensome\, then this can be deviated from in consultation. This course is free for participants who pay an annual contribution to Sakya (in one lump sum or monthly). \n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR THE COURSE: link

Her practice is especially effective and helpful during difficult times and when our lives are dominated by intense emotions and fear. Practiced by all four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism\, White Tara has been the main deity practice of many well-known Buddhist scholars and siddhas in both India and Tibet. White Tara’s special function is to promote long life\, peace\, prosperity\, and health through her enlightened activities\, both for the practitioner and for others. \n\n\n\nOn Saturday 24.2. afternoon we celebrate CHOTRUL DÜCHEN\, one of the four great buddhist celebrations: The first fifteen days of the Tibetan year commemorate the event when Lord Buddha performed a different miracle each day to instill devotion and increase merit among heretics.  Program:Introduction to Chotrul DüchenSutra of Remembering the Three JewelsThe Three-Part Sutra: Confession before the thirty-five BuddhasBuddha Shakyamuni prayer16 Arhat-ritualLonglife-prayers for Their Holinesses The texts can be downloaded HEREPlease click HERE if you want to celebrate Chotrul Düchen with us through ZOOM.\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\nTo come to the STL temple\, Kuttolsheim (FR)\, register a few days in advance for this event using the link below. \n\n\n\n\nKuttolsheim
