CURRENT TEACHINGS


We have been busy putting together the programme for 2021. For the first few weeks we have the following:

Monday 18th January - An Evening with Venerable Frank Damcho. 
Frank will be sharing his experiences of running the weekly Prayerathon for FPMT, as well as his wider experiences in the dharma.

Many of you will know Ven Frank from either the Prayerathon which happens every Saturday and can be found on the Chenrezig Institute’s YouTube channel, or from the weekday online Morning Prayers which he leads from time to time.

Monday 25th January for five weeks - Ondy Willson: Managing Thoughts and Emotions. 
We are really pleased to welcome back Ondy Willson from Cumbria for this set of teachings on Managing Thoughts and Emotions. It will include Emotional Intelligence competencies, how to apply the view of Emptiness as a support, practical exercises and an understanding of how thoughts and emotions arise - investigating the nature of the mind and the place of the ego and buddha nature. These teachings are also suitable for non-Buddhists.

We are hoping to have teachings from Ven Robina Courtin on Monday 1st March, and we are just finalising teachings for the rest of March - I will drop another email to you once this is all confirmed. 

In the spring we have further teachings planned from Ven Mary Reavey. More information on those teachings in a few weeks. 


Hope to see you at one of our meetings. Please do get in touch if you need more information. 

We currently offer a range of online services to help you learn, stay connected, and feel supported.

Centre of Compassion Study Group is an FPMT Study Group

FPMT study groups are groups which are using this status as a probationary period before a group becomes a legal entity and a full FPMT centre.

FPMT Study Groups are not yet affiliated with the FPMT, and therefore do not have the same responsibilities as a centre, financially or administratively.
