Hebden Bridge

We have been established in Hebden Bridge for over twenty years providing a regular program of meditation and Buddhist study groups.

Tuesday meditation and Buddhist study group: 8.00pm – 9.00pm
Please join us 7.30pm onwards to settle in, meet everyone and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.
We begin with twenty minutes of meditation, followed by a study session based on a Buddhist topic where there is plenty of opportunity for discussion and any questions that you may have.

Our current study session is based on a booklet by Lama Jampa Thaye called, ‘Discovering the Causes of Happiness’, which covers some fundamental thoughts in Buddhism. 
 

Mind Training (Lojong) Day

  •   

An introduction to the transformative Buddhist Lojong (mind training) teachings, led by Jonathan Macaskill. Mind training is a system of meditation for developing the thought of enlightenment. At its heart is the practice of exchanging oneself for others.

Session 2: 12:30pm – 1:30pm: Introduction to meditation on ultimate bodhicitta

Session 3: 2:30pm – 4.00pm: Relative bodhicitta meditation with time for questions and clarification

Drop in for one or more sessions or stay all day. The event is open to all and there is no fee but donations are welcome. Tea and coffee will be provided. Please bring food for a shared lunch. 

The event is jointly organised by Hebden Bridge and Colne Kagyu Dechen Buddhist Groups
