Weekly Classes

We have a series of weekly classes which run at Heart Jewel Centre in Maltock Bath; and at our branch classes in Chesterfield and Mansfield.

All are suitable for beginners and more experienced practitioners and are organised as short courses, usually around 4 weeks long and last about 1 hour 15 mins around a common theme.

You can attend the whole course or simply drop in whenever you can as each class is self-contained

All classes will include an introductory meditation, practical teaching and guided meditation on the subject of the teaching; with practical advice on how to put the teachings into practise in daily life.

Day & 1/2 Day Courses

We run a series of day and half day courses throughout the year which focus on specific ways we can benefit from Venerable Geshe-la’s teachings in our dailty lives.

All courses are suitable for beginners and more advanced practitioners and are presented in the beautiful surroundings of Heart Jewel Centre in Matlock Bath.

The next classes in our current programme are shown here (please click for further information)

Special Events

Throughout the year we hold other events for an opportunity to learn more about the centre and meet the community including empowerments, public talks, meals and walks in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales which surround the Centre.

These events are open to all and include either a meditation or other opportunity to develop a peaceful mind

Retreats

Retreats give us an opportunity to consolidate our understanding of Dharma and engage in meaningful practices.

Foundation Programme

Want to take your Dharma studies to new depths? The Foundation Programme is the ideal step after attending the drop-in classes. Students undertake a more systematic and thorough study of the subjects covered in Geshe-la’s books.

Classes include prayers, guided meditations, teachings and discussion. Every fourth class is a whole class discussion to further deepen our understanding.

Participants enrol for the study of each book (or section of the book), and undertake to take an exam at the end of the section.

Its a great time to join our Foundation Programme.

We will start the study of “Meaningful to Behold” By Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso on Thursday 4th September

Come along and try it out. You can have up to 4 taster sessions to sample what it is like to be on a study programme.
