A Two-Year Journey to Buddhist Awakening
From Sep 14 to Nov 26 on Tuesday evenings, online, in English and Finnish.
The FPMT Lamrim Ngöndro Training is a two-year journey in the common and uncommon preliminary practices and meditating on the Stages of the Path.
Once a week on Tuesdays, we gather to meditate and reflect together on a topic from the Lamrim. Additional pre-recorded meditations are also available for those who wish to expand their practice.
The training is designed to generate the motivation that supports the development of calm abiding, special insight, and tantra facilitating deep transformation.
Year 4 of FPMT In-Depth Meditation Training
From Sep 5 to Nov 28. Saturdays 16.30 – 19.00 (Helsinki time), online, only in English.
Over four years the full range of traditional Buddhist methods is gradually introduced in ways suitable for a modern Western audience. While grounded in the theory and practice of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, aspects of the living tradition of Theravada practices form an integral part of the training.
In this culminating fourth year of our journey, our path turns inward to the mind itself—its empty, luminous nature—and outward to the transformative methods of tantra, where the naturally pure nature of our perception is recognized as the very ground of awakening.
Weekly guided meditations are combined with in-depth lectures and meditation training, prioritising the needs and levels of practice of the participants. The sessions consist of an hour of meditation, an hour of lecture, and half an hour for Q&A.
