Karma
A weekend in preparation for the Jewel Ornament Retreat
with Lama Shenpen Hookham
16-17 May 2009
Weekend Event at St. Mary's Convent, London
This is a rare opportunity to hear Lama Shenpen teach in London. Lama Shenpen will be picking up on questions raised during the preceding sessions on the course and addressing them in full. This will be your opportunity to ask her questions directly on the theoretical, practical and experiential implications of the Buddhist teachings on Samsara and karma, including Buddhist teachings about birth, death and rebirth, what we are all doing here anyway and the precise meaning of liberation.
This weekend is a suitable for all studentsbeginners or experienced practitioners. It is especially recommended for those people planning on attending the Jewel Ornament of Liberation retreat at the Hermitage in June.
This weekend is part of an on-going series on Practice in Everyday Life. While entirely suitable for newcomers, some familiarity with the Discovering the Heart of Buddhism course will be helpful.
This weekend is open to everyone, and it is fine to come to either one or both days.
Saturday: 10:00am-5:30pm
Sunday: 10:00am to 5:30pm
The cost is £15 per day. Please also bring vegetarian food for a 'bring and share' group lunch on both days. To ease serving and clearing up, food should be already prepared and ready to serve.
All London weekend courses are held at the St. Mary's Convent, Priory Field Drive, Edgware, Middx, HA8 9PZ (a 15-minute walk from Edgware tube station).
There is limited accommodation at St Mary's Convent for £15 per night, including breakfast. It is essential to book this accommodation in advance by emailing [email protected]ku.gro.sha@nodnolnisdnekeew .
