Day Courses

discussing At weekends, we offer a variety of Day Courses (either lasting a full day or half a day), Meditation Workshops (half a day), and Retreats. The Day Courses can be enjoyed by people of all levels of experience, and are particularly suitable for beginners: the teacher gives clear explanations of the subject in plain English, taking straightforward examples from daily life; full guidance is given during meditation; and there are opportunities to ask questions. Particular emphasis is placed on the practical application of Buddha’s teachings to our everyday lives.

Since these last longer than a standard class, they allow the teacher to go into more detail about the topic, helping the students to acquire deeper insights and stronger meditation experiences – leading to the enjoyment of a lighter, happier daily life.

The Day Courses at Buddha Land are usually taught by our Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Päljin, a Western Buddhist Monk with 20 years’ experience in Kadampa Buddhism.

True Confidence and Self Esteem

Half Day Course

Livestreamed Online

Saturday 28 November, 10am – 1pm
(available for 48 hours after on catch up)

We all want to feel good about ourselves but, not understanding our true potential, we often feel inadequate and lack self-confidence. True confidence comes from within and doesn’t depend upon what others think of us. In this half-day course we will learn to recognise and abandon negative states of mind that are the true causes of our suffering and problems.

In-Person @Bolton Abbey Village Hall, N Yorks

Saturday 12th December, 9.30am – 5pm

We return to meditate in the peace and tranquility of the Yorkshire Dales at Bolton Abbey Village Hall.

Step back from normal activities and focus on solving problems through meditation using powerful techniques practised for thousands of years.
