This traditional Buddhist text, composed by Ngulchu Thogme Zangpo, contains essential and practical instructions for the development of compassion and its application in to daily life, how to turn the difficulties of life into training for spiritual growth. The basis for the text is the practice of Chenrezi, the embodiment of compassion.
This is the second weekend of the study course, and while it would be ideal to attend all weekends, each weekend is presented in a complete format so that you can benefit from each section of the verses. It also provides an ongoing and gradual training in practice and study.

This year-long course is being taught by Gelong Thubten, a life-ordained monk who has been a monk since 1993. During this time he has completed over 200 pairs of Nyung Neys (Buddhist Fasting Practice) and more recently has completed a 4 year and 1 year Retreat on Arran, Scotland. He was also the personal assistant to Akong Rinpoche, travelling with him for many years before his tragic death in 2013. Thubten has many years experience of the practice and teaching of the Dharma, and also teaches in many different organisations such as companies and the NHS.
