Khacho Yulo Ling Buddhist Centre is a place of peace and practice. The centre is under the patronage of and has been blessed by, both His Holiness Sakya Trizin and the late His Eminence Chogye Trichen Rinpoche. It is of the lineage of the Tsarpa sub sect of the Sakya Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism but welcomes all traditions and teachings.
The centre is facilitated by it's resident nun, Venerable Rinchen, a fully ordained Australian nun in the Tibetan tradition. The centre is open to all interested people who are seeking to know more about Buddhism or meditation. We offer regular practices and Buddhist teachings.
Our heartfelt love and blessings flowing out to our wonderful community for all your love and support throughout the years for the Buddhist Centre. Some of you have supported the Centre for many, many years with regular mortgage payments, some of you were part of our early mortgage drive with purchase of lifetime memberships and some have recently supported by contributing to finalising the mortgage and many have supported through offering your precious time, energy and love. A huge debt of gratitude to all you, and we dedicate the merit for your well being, long life and prosperity in the Dharma in this and all your future lifetimes. We will hold a larger celebration on 9 September our 18th Anniversary, in honour of this milestone. Love and Blessings Venerable Rinchen and KYLBC Committee and Community.
The practice of mindfulness has been imported from its traditional Buddhist home and applied to many different fields, from psychology to corporate management. In this process its meaning has morphed according to the needs and understanding of its adapters. This weekend we will explore the nature of mindfulness and its practice as the Buddha himself understood it. What is mindfulness? What use is it? How do we cultivate it? How do we lose it? This talk is an introduction to our weekend workshop but also for those who just want to know more about mindfulness. No bookings required. Cost is by donation. Please do not attend if you have any cold or flu like symptoms.
In this non-residential workshop, Patrick will introduce you to the practice of mindfulness as it was understood by the Buddha. We will assume no previous meditation experience, so this workshop is designed for beginners. However, experienced practitioners will benefit from revising their understanding of thefundamental principles of the practice.
Meditation is a craft that anyone can learn through appropriate training. We will build a basic skill set that will establish you in your practice orstrengthen your existing practice. We will begin with mindfulness immersed in body (k?yagat? sati), which the Buddha sees as foundational for mindfulness practice. Participants should wear loose and comfortable clothing, suitable for yoga/bodywork.
