Clarifying the Natural State – 1 Year Training Course in Mahamudra Meditation with Lama Tsultrim Guelek<\/h1>\n

Bodhicharya UK Buddhist Meditation Centre in Rochester, Kent, UK and Online: September 2026 \u2013 September 2027
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one year training course will follow the meditation instructions in Dakpo Tashi Namgyal\u2018s<\/strong> Mahamudra<\/strong> meditation manual, Clarifying the Natural State. <\/strong>It will use the commentary Crystal Clear<\/strong>, by the learned and realized Tibetan Master Thrangu Rinpoche<\/strong>, which is a companion volume to the classic meditation manual by Dakpo Tashi Namgyal.<\/p>\n

Clarifying the Natural State is a practical manual for both teacher and student alike, covering the path from mindfulness to complete enlightenment, simply and methodically. Presenting the profound and ultimate instructions of Mahamudra, it embodies the realization of India and Tibet\u2019s greatest masters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe words of Dakpo Tashi Namgyal are unique. Adorned with plenty of pithy advice out of his personal experience, practitioners are greatly benefited by his instructions on how to remove hindrances and progress further. His methods for practicing Mahamudra are preeminent. This book is indispensable as it focuses exclusively on practice.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Enlightened Courage – 1 Year Training Course in Lojong (The Seven Points of Mind Training) with Lama Tsering Paldron<\/h1>\n

Bodhicharya UK Buddhist Meditation Centre in Rochester, Kent, UK and Online: October 2026 \u2013 October 2027
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis one year training course will follow Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche<\/strong>\u2018s commentary on The Seven Points of Mind Training<\/strong> by Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje<\/strong>, which is one of the most practical and inspiring presentations of the Buddhist path.<\/p>\n

Lojong teaches us how to transform every circumstance of life\u2014even difficulties, conflicts, and disappointment\u2014into opportunities for awakening. Rather than trying to change the world to suit our preferences, we gradually learn to transform the way we relate to it, discovering greater freedom, compassion, and inner stability.<\/p>\n

The courage spoken of in this text is not the courage to fight, to prove ourselves, or to become invulnerable. It is the courage to let go of the instinct to defend the ego at every turn. Little by little, blame gives way to understanding, resentment to compassion, and our ordinary struggles become the very path to awakening.<\/p>\n

With his characteristic warmth and clarity, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche reveals that mind training is not about becoming someone else, but about uncovering the wisdom and compassion that have always been present within us.<\/p>\n

These timeless teachings offer a practical guide to living with an open heart, whatever life may bring.\u201d ~ Tsering Paldron<\/strong><\/p>\n
