Oxford Path of Freedom: Smile at Fear
Tue 14 Nov 2023 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
This term, Autumn/Winter 2023, we are going to start up on 19th September and will carry on every Tuesday until 12th December.
We know it has been a long break since the parinirvāṇa of Rigdzin Shikpo and we are looking forward to meeting again regularly.
This term we are going to do a round of teachings based on a book by Rigdzin Shikpo’s root guru, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche – ‘Smile at Fear’.
The first Tuesday each month we are going to have break from the teaching programme to meet for a meditation session and discussion.
We will be starting at the new time 7.30pm for approximately 45 minutes of meditation, followed by a talk and then discussion, ending at 9.00pm.
For more information and to receive the Zoom link, contact us at oxford@longchenfoundation.org. We hope you can make it and we look forward to seeing you soon!
