OCTOBER 2024

Meditation Sunday with Paul Wootton

Sunday 6th October at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm
In-person. Free of charge but booking is essential. Lunch is available but needs to be booked in advance (£6)

Simple, short guided meditation sessions drawing on a variety of techniques from Buddhist traditions. We will practice techniques in short sessions based on concentration on breath, visualisation and sound.

This meditation practice day is suitable for practitioners from all backgrounds and levels of experience.

Paul has been a student of Kyabje Chime Rinpoche since 1974. He was made a member of the White Sangha and given permission to teach Buddhism, Meditation and Lucid dreaming/Dream yoga by Rinpoche in 2018.

Paul has also served on the committee and has led several courses both at Marpa House and online.

Birthday celebrations for our precious teacher, Kyabjé Chime Rinpoche

Saturday 12th October from 2.30 pm onwards

We are delighted to invite you to share our precious teacher’s birthday celebrations with us. Rinpoche is in strict retreat until after Losar 2025, however we will mark his birthday together as a sangha and very much hope you can join us.

We will be reciting ‘Calling the Lama from Afar’ and offering khataks. We also hope to watch a short recording of one of Rinpoche’s teachings together, followed by a bonfire & tea party afterwards.

This event is offered free of charge, however donations are very welcome.

Due to staff shortages, we are sorry that lunch is not available, however, please feel free to bring vegetarian food to share for the tea party.

We very much look forward to seeing you and marking our precious teacher’s birthday together.
