SUMMARY:Skilfull Meditation with Ani Lhamo
DESCRIPTION:The Kagyu Lineage is often called the ‘Practice Lineage’.  It offers a huge range of mind training methods.  What are they and why do they exist? What are their various benefits? \nWe will take a look at some methods: prayer\, contemplation\, spiritual music\, the use of musical instruments\, dance\, and some of the many forms of ritual. \nThe aim of this talk is to clarify the roles of these methods and which of them might be helpful to us as we progress on the path. \nCost\nThere is no charge for these talks\, but donations are welcome. Dharma centres\, which offer teachings and meditation practices that benefit all beings\, are largely sustained through the generosity of their supporters. Donations play a crucial role in ensuring the continuation of these teachings\, providing resources for the upkeep of the centre\, supporting teachers\, and enabling the running of retreats\, courses\, and community activities. \nTeacher\nGelongma (Ani) Lhamo is a fully ordained Buddhist nun from Scotland who completed a four-year cloistered retreat in 1993 and has lived at Samye Ling Monastery ever since. An experienced teacher of meditation and Dharma\, she has also served as Secretary and assistant to Abbot Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche at Samye Ling Monastery for many years. Through her work\, she has learned to integrate meditation and the Buddha’s teachings into her busy daily life. \n
