What does it really mean to be a Kadampa, and how can we turn Buddha’s teachings into a way of life?

Kadam Lucy will show how to develop an effective, accessible practice that combines reliance on Je Tsongkhapa as our Spiritual Guide and Dorje Shugden as our Dharma Protector with meditation on Lamrim, Lojong, and Mahamudra. Together, these form a simple and complete framework for practising Kadampa Buddhism every day.

Perfect for anyone wanting to go deeper, establish a regular Buddhist practice, and use meditation to transform daily life. Suitable for newer and experienced practitioners alike.

Went for a drop in this lunchtime and would recommend, everyone was really friendly and the meditation was really relaxing. I’ve never been before and it was completely suitable as a beginner!
AnnaAttendee
Each time I visit this place I feel very welcomed and inspired. Lots of what is said is so useable for daily life - for example how we can use patience to no longer get stressed out in traffic jams , or how we can live in the moment to let go of past stress and worries and simply enjoy .
