     ✨ New Series, Schedule Updates & a Special Course   
 
There’s a lot to share as we begin this coming week. Our new drop-in meditation series starts in Port Talbot, Swansea, and Cardiff, alongside the beginning of a new three-week series in Narberth, offering fresh opportunities to join us and deepen your practice. We also have some important updates, including a change to our Foundation Programme evening and our weekly prayers schedule, and we’re especially looking forward to next weekend very special course with Gen-la Dekyong— her final teaching as General Spiritual Director. You’ll find full details of all of this, along with this week’s classes, below.

Why are group prayers important?
Have you ever left a meditation class feeling a bit more positive and upbeat than you did at the start? If so, you will know the uplifting effect of receiving blessings - the inspiring energy of enlightened beings. Ritual prayers are a special way of receiving the powerful blessings of enlightened beings. In The New Eight Steps to Happiness, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyasto explains the importance of blessings: 

‘Unless our mind is watered by a rain of blessings, or inspiring energy from the Buddhas and Bodhistatvas, it will remain like a dry field in which the seeds of spiritual realisations are unable to grow.’ 

Our scheduled prayers are subject to change so please always check the online calendar here for details. To discover more about our prayers click here.
