We are again honoured to have Khandro-la teach at our centre.

Khandro Thrinlay Chodon is a lay, Tibetan Buddhist teacher, who holds her family's yogic spiritual lineage . She began her spiritual training as a small child and has studied both Eastern and Western approaches to spiritual psychology. Since the death of her husband, His Holiness the IXth Shabdrung of Bhutan, in 2003 she has, with the encouragement of many Vajrayana Buddhist Masters, been teaching in the west. She focuses on spirituality in daily life. Her organisation, Khachodling, engages in spiritual and humanitarian projects in the remote Indian Himalayas.

"Journey Inward" with Khandro Thrinlay Chodon
A three week Meditation Course Starts Wednesday 27th January, 7pm

In our busy lives we seldom stop and look within. We lose ourselves in business and forget our interconnectedness to everything around. Meditation trains us to stop for a moment and look deeply. This calms our mind to notice the true depth and beauty within. From this ground we develop strength to break the cycle of everyday reactive habits and live joyfully and courageously in dealing with life's sufferings.
