SUMMARY:The Practice of Being Here with Lama Zangpo
DESCRIPTION:Meditation is at the heart of Buddhist practice\, offering a way to train the mind\, develop awareness and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Through practices such as calm abiding\, we learn to settle the mind\, work with distractions and cultivate greater clarity and stability. Join us for a day of teaching\, guided meditation and discussion.\n\n10:00 am – 4:00 pm\nPlease bring a plate of vegetarian lunch to share.\n  \nLama Zangpo began his meditation journey in 1996 after meeting Lama Yeshe Rinpoche at KSDJ\, where he was a resident volunteer. He undertook long retreats on Arran and trained intensively with Drupon Rinpoche in Nepal. He has supported Buddhist communities in South Africa\, the Congo\, and now Glasgow\, where he is known for his compassionate and practical understanding of Buddhist teachings.

SUMMARY:The Sutra of Living with Dónal Creedon
DESCRIPTION:‘Everyday is a journey and the journey itself is home’ – Bashō \nWe live in a world of tremendous pressure and speed. Violence and fear are everywhere. Like driftwood caught in a torrent moments of stillness and peace elude us. We seem to have lost the ability live naturally and gracefully with a sense of depth and ease. Yet it need not be so if we take the time to listen\, to reflect and to meditate. \nWe need to learn who we are. How our thoughts make problems out of nothing. Literally! Using the maps provided by the Buddha we read the sutra that is our daily life. A sutra which shows the sources of sorrow and its ending. \n10:00 am – 4:00 pm \nPlease bring lunch to share. \nNo cost for this teaching but donations for the centre to cover air tickets\, and dana for the teacher is welcome. \nAbout Dónal Creedon\nDónal Creedon is a highly respected Buddhist meditation teacher\, deeply appreciated for his warmth\, openness\, and sincerity. He brings many years of experience to his teaching\, grounded in deep personal practice and study. He trained extensively with masters of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in Europe\, India\, and Nepal\, including long periods of intensive retreat.  Dónal’s teaching is rooted in this tradition\, while also being informed by his time at the Krishnamurti Centre in Varanasi\, where he served as the resident Buddhist scholar. Dónal’s approach integrates Buddhist meditative training with the radical spirit of inquiry inspired by J. Krishnamurti\, offering a path that is both contemplative and deeply questioning. \n
