Prerequisiti: Need to have attended at least 2 fuori da 3 of Shambhala Training Weekends 1-3 (If you have not been able to participate in Weekend 3 we can provide recordings of the talks)

Fine settimana degli insegnamenti di Shambhala 4 is about inquisitiveness and opening, allowing ourselves to be touched by our experience.

When we meditate, we learn how to gently let go of self-involved agitation and develop trust in our capacity to experience the sharp edges of reality. We find that we can open up to our world with kindness and curiosity.

This programme will take place in-person in Clapham as well as online on Zoom.

About the Shambhala Teachings Series

The founding principles of all Buddhist teaching are compassion and wisdom. The Buddha shared his teachings with the intention that his students and future generations could engage with them, and realise what it means to be human.

In the same way the founder of Shambhala, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, presented the Shambhala teachings as a way for his students and future generations to connect with the essence of the Buddhist teachings whilst engaging in societal activities such as family life and work.

The Shambhala approach emphasises the innate dignity and sanity we possess and explores how the beauty and magic of the world can awaken those qualities within us, rather than provoking attachment, aggression and ignorance.

Gli insegnamenti e le pratiche Shambhala ci forniscono un percorso strutturato da seguire, dove possiamo imparare a connetterci con la nostra gentilezza e forza. Apportando un tocco compassionevole al disordine dell'essere vivi, we can move toward feeling good enough just as we are.

Here is a video on the Shambhala Teachings and their relation to Buddhism.

A key aspect to the Shambhala teachings is the way the meditation technique changes through the different weekends. The meditative experience is in tune with the experiences highlighted in the teachings. The weekends will include substantial time to practise these techniques.

We aim to provide a space which allows you to explore the meditation technique and teachings in a positive environment, with a welcoming and inclusive community, and opportunities for both group and one-on-one discussion spaces to reflect and ask questions.
