Clive leads a course about “Restoring the Balance” a book by Akong Tulku Rinpoche – which he helped to edit. We will look at the basic principles of Tibetan therapy and learn methods to balance our lives in this age of many distractions.

Balancing the Mind

“Not to do harmful things, always aspiring to do the helpful, to tame the mind –that is the essence of the teachings of Buddha”. Without intending harm, we can become our own worst enemies when we act, speak and think in a wild and reckless way. This weekend we will be investigating some help in this from the world of Buddhism like, taming the monkey mind.

Embodiment and Practice

It is essential not to just know meditation intellectually but embody the Dharma – the teachings of Lord Buddha – too. There will be many opportunities to practise meditations and visualisations over the weekend.

Course Fee

There is no course fee for this weekend. However we always make an offering to the course tutor on behalf of everyone who attends. If you wish to contribute, please ask at Reception.
