Event: Cardiff Zen Day 30th January 2016

Cardiff Zen Day is being held on Saturday 30th January 2016 from 09:30 AM at Gwaelod-y-Garth Village Hall, Cardiff, and costs £27.50 for the day.

Details of the event are below and you can book tickets for the event by visiting here.

Cardiff Zen Day

After an introduction to Zen practice, we shall spend a silent day in sitting meditation (zazen) interspersed with walking meditation (kinhin). In our meditation we will practice attentiveness to the breath which, together with the stillness of the body, helps to free the mind from its ordinary mental activities and offers an insight into the oneness of life. This insight reveals to us our own human potential and calls us to use this in the service of others. It brings us to the present moment, clarifying and supporting our readiness to meet the ever-changing circumstances of our daily life.

Zen is a gift for anyone, whatever their background, faith or tradition.

This Zen day will be facilitated by Mark Scholefield, a long-standing Zen practitioner under Roshi Robert Kennedy of the White Plum Zen lineage. He is based at the Ammerdown Centre, near Bath, where he runs regular Zen days and weekend retreats.


Mats and cushions will be provided.  You may also choose to sit on a chair.

BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL AS PLACES ARE LIMITED

Please bring your own lunch.

There is car parking in the school car park next to Gwaelod-y-Garth village hall. Taffs Well railway station is about 10 minutes walk.

Yungdrung Bon Meditation Group, Swansea

Yungdrung Bon is the pre-Buddhist spiritual tradition of Tibet. Yungdrung Bon was taught by Buddha Tonpa Sherab in Wol-mo Loong-Ring (Shambala), he taught the indigenous people some causal Bon (Gyu-yi Bon) aspect of teachings, such as healing arts, prayer flag hoisting and medicinal plant fumigation.

Beginning from 8th century, Tibetans also imported Dharma from India. Since then, Tibet had two major religious traditions; Yungdrung Bon and Dharma. Yungdrung Bon has five sub-schools and Dharma with five sub-schools under their umbrella respectively. Both the traditions emphasise the generating of indiscriminate love and compassion and have similar views on the path. However, there are historical and geographical differences.

WEEKLY "DRUB-DHE" MEDITATION

The focus of these evenings is on the Dzogchen Ngondro foundation practices which employ a combination of mantra, visualisation and meditation. Whilst these are generally associated with Yungdrung Bon (The Ancient Buddhism of Tibet) and Buddhism, their essence has Universal Application and can be adapted and utilized by anyone – regardless of the faith or belief system one ascribes to.

These sessions are FREE of charge however, if you wish to make donations, these are always most welcome. Offerings such as flowers, incense, candles, food etc. (ALL FRESH) can be brought in and dedicated for the benefit of yourself, your family / friends. This being a positive karmic act and if, at any point, you wish to sponsor / dedicate the prayers from any session for a particular purpose, please advise your local um-zey (prayer leader) / named organizer in order that these may be done.

Film night at Cardiff Buddhist Centre - Samsara

Film Night at Cardiff Buddhist Centre. Friday, 1st August, 18:00 hrs — Samsara

Samsara of course refers to the ever turning wheel of life, and Ron Fricke’s film captures the interconnections that link our existence by capturing sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial sites, and natural wonders. Like Koyaanisqatsi (see Film Night on 2nd May) before it, Samsara dispenses with dialogue and conventional narrative, and leaves it up to the viewers to draw their own interpretations. Join us for what promises to be a breathtaking non-verbal, visual guided meditation.

The film starts at 19:00, with supper beforehand (bring a dish to share) from 18:00.

Shitro Retreat with Jakob Winkler

From Thursday, 24 July 2014 To Sunday, 27 July 2014




The program will include Shitro explanations, practice, and sessions of Yantra Yoga and Vajra Dance.

Description: Shitro, the practice of the peaceful and wrathful manifestation is a tantric practice with a close connection to Dzogchen. This practice is used for purifying our obscurations and we can apply it for the same purpose for the benefit of the deceased. Based on the Bardo Thödrol, the "Tibet Book of the Dead“ which is nowadays wide spread. It came to Tibet by Padmasambhava and was revealed as Terma or 'treasure teaching' in the 14th Century by the tertön Karma_Lingpa.

The practice used is from Mingyur Dorje (1645-1667), a student and teacher of Karma Chagme Raga Asya (1613-1678). Chögyal Namkhai Norbu has chosen that version for his students, because it is very essential and easy to use.

Participants need transmission of that practice to participate or sincere interest. In that case they can receive the transmission later from Rinpoche e.g. through webcast.

More information on pricing will follow shortly.



Jakob Winkler has been practicing Tibetan Buddhism since the mid-eighties. He met Chögyal Namkhai Norbu in 1989 & in 2002 he was authorized by him to teach the base of the ‘Santi Maha Sangha’. Jakob holds an MA in Tibetology, Indian art history and social anthropology (the topic for his master's thesis was "Death Ritual in Tibet". He works as an editor for Buddhist publications, as a Tibetan language interpreter for Buddhist teachings & as an international instructor for Santi Maha Sangha. Today, he lives in Bonn, Germany.

WEEKEND TEACHINGS
Creation and Completion – Essential Points of Tantric Meditation
& Minling Dorsem Empowerment
Creation and Completion meditation is the cornerstone of tantric Buddhist practice. Her Eminence Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche continues the second year of the cycle of teachings on this very profound topic. As Creation and Completion practice opens up properly through a sadhana practice, Rinpoche has chosen to bestow us an empowerment of Minling Dorsem (Mindroling Vajrasattva). Minling Dorsem is a famous practice of Vajrasattva revealed as a terma by Terdak Lingpa, Minling Terchen Gyurme Dorje in 1676 from a place called Okar Rock.
