About the event
A weekend course on The Four Dharmas of Gampopa, an important Tibetan Buddhist text which contains key instructions for turning our practice into a path to liberation.
The main themes explained are how to deepen our commitment to our meditation practice, the cultivation of pure compassion and the journey to profound wisdom. The teachings include helpful instructions for maintaining a strong, daily meditation practice, the transformation of negative emotions and how to become of true benefit to others.
These teachings provide a grounding in some of the most essential points of Buddhist philosophy and practice, and are suitable for beginners and the more experienced, Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.
