Palpung Changchub Dargyeling is a Tibetan Buddhist Centre in Wales a seat of the Kenting Tai Situpa with the resident teacher, Lama Rabsang. There are regular courses and teachings as well as retreats and visits from great Tibetan teachers. All are very welcome.

 

 
Meditation

Meditation classes are normally held on Tuesday nights 7pm-8pm, please wear loose clothing. No previous experience necessary as instructions can be given.  There is no Buddhism taught, this is simply meditation instructions. There is a suggested donation of £5 per session. (As always, if you cant afford or don't want to make an offering - it is not an issue).

 
Group Prayers

Every Sunday evening 6.30pm-8pm the centre holds a group Chenrezig Practice with a one hour meditation, (or 20 minutes meditation 40 minutes talk if new people attend). Chenrezig is the embodiment of compassion and probably the most popular deity in Tibet. His mantra, Om Mani Peme Hung, is carved on rocks and mountain sides throughout Tibet. It is the inspiration for countless folk songs and a good introduction to Tibetan Buddhist practice. The prayers are open to everyone. To read a commentary on the Chenrezig practice kindly go here.

 
Teachings
