Weekly Events
Drop in Meditations
LUNCHTIMES Tuesdays: 12:30 - 13:00 from 4 September to 19 December
Thursdays: 12:30 - 13:00 from 6 September to 14 December
Make the most of your lunchtime with a
guided meditation session to help focus and
calm your mind. These sessions are a great way
to relax and create some space for reflection in
daily life. Suggest donation £3.
AFTERNOONS Dealing with Negative Emotions (drop-in class) with Kerry Prest
Tuesdays: 15:00 - 16:00 from 19 September to 24 October
In this drop-in class we will be looking at the
various types of disturbing minds we all face
in our daily lives such as anger, jealousy, pride
and neediness. Through discussion we will
see what each of these minds have as their
‘character’ and by doing so learn to not be
controlled by their every whim, taking back
control of our minds. With this class we’ll
learn to change our disturbing mental habits
into more helpful and realistic minds. We’ll
use some buddhist psychology as a basis,
examples from everyday life, and meditation
and discussion to learn a bit more about our
own minds. Suggest donation £6.
EVENINGS Mondays: 18:30 - 19:30 from 4 September to 18 December
Join us for an hour of guided meditation,
working with your mind and breath to
become calmer, happier, more focused and
relaxed. These drop-in sessions, which include
mindfulness and analytical meditations
inspired by the 16 Guidelines, are practical,
non-religious and suitable for people of all
ages and abilities, from beginners to more
experienced meditators. Suggest donation £6.
Discovering Buddhism Series
Discovering Buddhism is ideal for those new
to Buddhist philosophy and practise. Each
module runs for 6 weeks and you can attend
the whole module or just drop into individual
classes. You don’t need to attend the whole
module to deepen your understanding of
different aspects of Buddhist philosophy and
practice.
DB Module 9: How to Develop Bodhichitta with Celia Chambers and Craig Skeet
Tuesdays: 18:30 – 20:00 from 5 September to 10 October (6 sessions)
The attitude of bodhichitta is often referred
to as the essence of all Buddha’s teachings.
This module explores what Bodhichitta is,
the benefits of such a vast mind and how we
can develop from an ordinary outlook to this
vast mind of compassion. During this module
we will present the step-by-step methods
by which one can generate the thought to
benefit all beings by attaining our highest
potential. Suggested donation £6.
DB Module 10: The Wisdom of Emptiness
Tuesdays: 18:30 – 20:00 from 31 October to 5
December (6 sessions)
The Buddha provided an effective means
to achieve liberation from the uncontrolled
cycle of death and rebirth, and the perfection
of wisdom and compassion. The essential
instruction he provided for such amazing
realisations was pointing out reality, also
known as the emptiness of true existence.
When a person gives rise to the wisdom
that experiences emptiness then he or she
has the actual antidote to the obstacles to
liberation and omniscience. This course is an
introduction to emptiness and the cultivation
of the wisdom that realises it. Suggested
donation £6.
Discovering Buddhism Practice Mornings:
How to Develop Bodhichitta, Saturday 14 October, 10:30 - 12:30
The Wisdom of Emptiness, Saturday 9 December, 10:30 -12:30
See the Weekend Event section for further
information.
Yoga for Relaxation and Balance with Christine Hodgson
Wednesdays 12:30 - 13:00 from 6 September to 20 December
“I feel a level of relaxation I haven’t
experienced outside of a spa.”
Jenessa Williams, Leeds Confidential.
Meditative yoga for relaxation and balance is
not your typical yoga class with an emphasis
on challenging physical postures, stretching
and breaking into a sweat! This uplifting and
relaxing lunch-time class focuses on simple
yogic techniques to deepen and calm your
breathing and relax your body and mind. Each
session includes non-strenuous seated yoga
postures combined with mantra recitation
and breathing exercises set to uplifting Indian
spiritual music. This class is a perfect way to
incorporate some relaxing ‘me’ time into your
busy working week. No previous experience
of yoga is necessary as these sessions are
suitable for all levels. Just wear comfortable
clothing for ease of sitting on either a chair or
the floor. Mats and cushions are provided. The
class is led by Christine (Simranpreet), a KYTA
qualified yoga instructor. Please note that this
yoga originates from an Indic spiritual practice
and is not Tibetan Buddhism.
These classes are drop-in. No need to book.

Golden Light Sutra Recitation - Fundraising Event
24 hour recitation from 18:00 on Wednesday 20 to 18:00 on Thursday 21 September
In celebration of the United Nations’
International Day of Peace and to raise funds
for a permanent home for Jamyang Buddhist
Centre Leeds, students and supporters of
the Centre will be continuously reciting
the Golden Light Sutra (a sacred Buddhist
text) for 24 hours non-stop while dedicating
the positive energy to world peace and
the flourishing of the Dharma throughout
Leeds, the north of England and the world!
Lama Zopa Rinpoche said; “This text (Golden
Light Sutra) is very precious; it brings peace
and happiness and is very powerful to stop
violence. It gives incredible protection to the
country [where recited] from violence etc. By
hearing this text, one’s karma gets purified.”
The recitation of the Golden Light Sutra will
be streamed live from Jamyang Buddhist
Centre Leeds and we invite you to join us for
this special Dharma event. To find out how
to join in and be part of this event visit the

Meditations for Emotional Balance
with Kerry Prest
Wednesdays 18:30-20:00, 6, 13 and 27
September 4, 11, 18, 25 October and 1
November
Meditations for Emotional Balance is a drop-in
class looking at ways to deal with day-to-day
emotional challenges. Using discussions and
meditations we will explore a healthier way
to live with our emotions and thoughts by:
Cultivating an awareness of what our minds
are telling us, and exploring if we have the
option to believe them or not; Meditating on
self-confidence - discover ways to counteract
loneliness, lack of self-confidence and low
self-esteem; Exploring meditations for anxiety
in our busy lives. We all experience life as
“too busy” and “how can I fit everything in”.
These sessions will look at practical ways to
help keep calm in the storm. No meditation
experience is necessary, and you don’t have
to be Buddhist, just curious about how your
mind works and open to exploring new ways
of thinking. These classes are drop-in.
Drop-in or email [email protected] to
book a place. Suggested donation £6 per class.
Advice from a Spiritual Friend
Teachings on the Seven Point Mind Training with David Midgley
Thursdays: 18:30 – 20:00 from 14 September to 7 December
In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Mind
Training (Lo Jong in Tibetan) refers to a
system of Mahayana Buddhist practice that
aims to integrate the essential principles
of the spiritual path into everyday life in a
very practical, down-to-earth way. It was
first taught by Lama Atisha, one of the great
Indian masters who brought Buddhism to
Tibet about one thousand years ago, and was
passed down as a secret oral tradition until
the root text for this course, The Seven Point
Mind Training, was written down in the twelfth
century. The text gives detailed instructions
on how to integrate the precious mind of
Bodhicitta into one’s everyday life through
the heart practice of Exchanging Self and
Others. This is a particularly suitable practice
for lay practitioners with busy lives. The root
text will be explained following the detailed
modern commentary by Geshe Rabten in
the volume ‘Advice From a Spiritual Friend’
(Wisdom Publications, 2001). ‘Whether we find
ourselves surrounded by a herd of yaks on the
steppes of Central Asia or rush-hour traffic on
a crowded freeway, we experience the same
yearning to be free from the inner anguish of
our existence, and strive to find lasting peace
and well-being. These teachings on thought
transformation are as applicable today as
they were when Atisha first introduced them
to Tibet.’ From the Introduction by Stephen
Batchelor. Suggested donation £6 per class.
Monthly EventsPurification Sundays
Sundays, 10:30 - 12:00 on 24 September, 29 October, 26 November
If we want to rid our minds of negative habits
and imprints built up over many years, we
need to engage in purification practices.
Coming together in a group to do prostrations
and mantra recitation makes purification
strong and consistent. Prostrating to the 35
Confession Buddhas and reciting Vajrasattva
mantras are powerful methods for purifying
negative karmic residues which taint the
natural purity of our minds. The sessions are
open to all, regardless of whether you have
received initiations or whether you have taken
refuge. All you need is a wish to move on
from unhelpful actions done in the past with
openness to the power of visualisation and
prayer.
Pujas (chanting meditations)
Pujas are chanted prayer ceremonies where
we show respect and devotion to Buddha
Shakyamuni and the Lamas of our tradition
such as HH Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa
Rinpoche. Pujas create merit (positive energy
and karma) for yourself or others. You can join
in the prayers and chanting from the sadhana
(spiritual text) or simply sit, listen and enjoy
the blessings. Feel free to bring offerings
for the shrine, for example biscuits, fruit or
flowers, especially for Tsog pujas. Donations
welcome.
Tara Puja: Mondays, 12:30 - 13:15 from 4 September to 18 December
Join us as we recite the ‘Praises to 21 Taras‘
pujas on Monday lunchtimes to benefit
sentient beings around the world and remove
obstacles to JBCL projects. All are welcome to
join in or just sit and enjoy the blessings..
Lama Chöpa Tsog Puja: Friday, 18:30 - 20:00 on 29 September, 27 October, 24 November & 15 December
Lama Chopa (Offering to the Spiritual Guides)
is a special chanted prayer ceremony where
we pay homage to the lineage Lamas and
Teachers of our tradition, all the way back to
Buddha Shakyamuni.
Chittamani Tara Puja: Friday, 18:30 - 20:00 on 8 September, 13 October, *10 November & 8 December
This traditional Tibetan Buddhist devotional
practice to Tara is very useful for removing
obstacles in daily life and to your progress
on the spiritual path. Tara is called the “swift
pacifier” and the puja includes the recitation
of prayers, visualisations, meditation and
chanting the 21 verse praises to Tara in Tibetan
and English. The puja will be explained as we
go through. All are welcome.
Special pujas
Chittamani Tara puja to celebrate Buddha’s Descent from Tushita Pure Land
18:30 - 20:00 on Friday 10 November
Please join us for a special Chittamani Tara
puja as we celebrate Buddha’s Descent from
Tushita Pure Land, one of the four great Holy
Days in the Tibetan Buddhist Calendar. Feel
free to bring offerings for the shrine on this
holy day, such as flowers, fruit or biscuits.
Donations for the Centre are also welcome.
Weekend Events
Entering the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life - Chapter nine, Wisdom with Andy Wistreich
Saturday 16 September 10:30 – 17:30
Entering the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life’ by
Shantideva is one of the most famous of all
Mahayana Buddhist texts. Practical, timeless,
profound and even disturbing in places,
within its verses can be found the entire
Buddhist path to Enlightenment by using the
framework of the six perfections – generosity,
ethics, patience, enthusiasm, meditation
and wisdom. Andy is teaching this text over
a series of weekends and this visit will cover
the start of chapter nine on the cultivation
of wisdom and what it means in a Buddhist
context. As this is the start of a new chapter it
is not necessary to have been to the previous
sessions. This chapter will be covered over
three days, with the other two days in early
2018.
Please email [email protected] to
book on this course and for a copy of the
commentary so you can read chapter nine
of the text (in the translation by Stephen
Batchelor) before the teaching.

Essence of True Eloquence with Geshe Tashi Tsering
Saturday 23 September, 28 October & 11 November, 11.00 - 17.30
Geshe Tashi will lead us through the
arguments, logic and examples we require
to understand the far-reaching advantages
of having an understanding of the Buddhist
concept of emptiness. Geshe Tashi is very
aware of the importance of developing
insights into the true nature of reality and
by continuing to teach on the subject of
emptiness, he is hoping to bring us closer to
our own understanding of the subject. Geshe
Tashi will base his teaching on the Essence
of True Eloquence by Lama Tsong Khapa,
translated by Robert Thurman. (Full title of the
book is Lama Tsongkhapa’s Speech of Gold
in the Essence of True Eloquence: Reason and
Enlightenment in the Central Philosophy of
Tibet (Princeton Legacy Library; translator:
Robert Thurman.) Geshe Tashi is well known
for the warmth, humour and clarity of his
explanations of Buddhist philosophy.

Refuge for a Happy Mind with Geshe Thubten Sherab
Sunday 5th November, 10:30 - 17:00
Most people understand that states of mind
such as anger, attachment and jealousy have
a negative impact on our peace of mind and
quality of life. We really suffer when our minds
are under the influence of disturbing emotions
and often feel there is nothing we can do to
change our experience except to indulge in
worldly pleasures, such as shopping, eating
and going out with friends.
While these do bring temporary pleasure,
relying on them for happiness can wear thin
or even stop working. So what do we do then?
On this one day course with Tibetan Buddhist
monk Geshe Thubten Sherab, we will explore
an alternative way to find happiness by relying
on the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and
Sangha. We will look at what each of the
‘Three Jewels’ mean and how they support
and guide us to create the ‘inner refuge’ of
happiness and peace within our own mind.
We will also look at why taking refuge in the
Three Jewels does not mean giving up the
things we enjoy, but changing our reliance
on them, and how refuge is an active process
of developing our wisdom, compassion and
experience of life. Suitable for those with a
basic understanding of Buddhism and anyone
who would like to receive teachings from this
highly regarded teacher and Buddhist monk.
About the teacher:
Geshe Thubten Sherab was born in 1967
in Nepal and entered Kopan Monastery in
Kathmandu at age nine. He completed his
Geshe degree at Sera Je Monastic University
in India. Geshe Sherab teaches in English and
over the last decade has taught Buddhist
philosophy and practices across the world.
Please email [email protected] to
book. Suggested donation £25
Introduction to Buddhist Tantra with David Midgley
Saturday 2 December, 10:30-17:00
On this one-day course we will look at what
Tantra means in the context of Tibetan
Buddhism, how Tantra works, why it is a
powerful form of practice and why the sutra
path is a foundation for the practices of Tantra.
Please email [email protected] to
book. Suggested donation £25.
Discovering Buddhism Practice Morning - The Wisdom of Emptiness
Saturday 9 December, 10:30 -12:30

the Discovering Buddhism module on ‘The
Wisdom of Emptiness’. We will look at a few of
the practises covered in the module and offer
advice and techniques to help you meditate

Invitation to become a friend
The contribution of time and effort from
volunteers and the money raised from
donations during classes go some way to
maintain JBCL but they don’t cover all the
running costs. In order to fulfil the Centre’s
aims it needs your regular support and you
can do this by becoming a Friend. A Friend is
someone who wishes:
• to be part of a Dharma family and the JBCL
community
• to have support for their Dharma practice
and to give support to others
• to support a peaceful, positive place in
the heart of the city where the Buddha’s
teachings can flourish
• to demonstrate their commitment in a
practical way by giving a regular donation of
money or time.
Friends make the commitment of a regular
donation or volunteer their time to enable
JBCL to meet day to day running costs and to
ensure the Centre will be in Leeds for a long
time to come.
Please email [email protected] or
look on our website for further details on
becoming a friend of JBCL.
Suggested DonationsWe want to provide the maximum benefit to
everyone, and we hope you find the classes
at JBCL of value. By making a donation to the
Centre you help others benefit too. Our Centre
and its activities cost over £1,000 a week to
run. Our volunteers do not get paid, but we
cover their expenses. A city centre location is
expensive and some of our teachers travel a
long way. We do not get any grants, and rely
almost entirely on donations. If you want to
support us, please donate towards the cost of
these classes, or even better become a friend
of the Centre and donate regularly.
Suggested donations:
• £3 for a lunchtime class
• £6 for an evening class
• £25 for a day class
If these are too much for you even the smallest
donation makes a difference. Most of all, we
hope you enjoy the classes, and benefit from
them.

Who are we?
Jamyang Buddhist Centre Leeds (JBCL) is a
registered charity established to help people
learn about Tibetan Buddhist meditation,
philosophy, psychology and ethics. Although
based in Leeds, students from many areas
of the UK - and the world - attend our
events. JBCL is affiliated to an international
Buddhist organisation called Foundation for
the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition
(FPMT) which is part of the Gelugpa lineage as

FPMT was founded in 1975 by Lama Thubten
Yeshe (1935-84), one of the first Tibetan
Buddhist monks to bring Tibetan Buddhism
to the West. The FPMT is currently guided by
Lama Zopa Rinpoche with the inspiration of
HH Dalai Lama.
FPMT is an international non-profit
organisation following the Mahayana
Buddhist tradition through teaching,
meditation and community service. FPMT
is a network of over 160 Tibetan Buddhist
centres, retreat venues, monasteries,
nunneries, hospices, publishing houses and
related activities. FPMT provides integrated
education through which people’s minds and
hearts can be transformed into their highest
