Avoid negative actions as much as possible.
Totally tame your own mind.
This is the teaching of the Lord Buddha.”

Discovering the Buddha Within

Level 3: Original Purity

Thursday 18th - Sunday 21st September 2025

  • Please make every effort to attend the full four days, as this is a transmission from a teacher to student, so it is important to be present in person. 

    Meditations connected with Buddha nature, which is the basis of Vajrayana, the last of Buddha's teachings, will allow students to discover their enlightened nature, the primordial purity of the mind and the universe, and to experience pure perception of everyone and everything.

  • In this level students will learn:

    1. Discover the primordial purity of their own mind and the universe

    • By discovering through advanced insight their own buddha nature and the original purity of everything.

    2. Learn how to reveal that purity

    • By appreciating and developing gratitude for one's own enlightened mind, by meditating on guru yoga, and by learning about creation and completion stage meditations according to the Vajrayana.

  • To be eligible for this second year, you must have either:

    1. attended the Year 1 & 2 in person (anywhere in the world)

    2. or completed the 50 hours of homework for Joy of Living 1

    3. or being a Mahamudra Ocean of Definitive Meaning student by His Holiness Tai Situ Rinpoche.

  • For those new to Buddhism, the practice commitment is to practice at least 10 minutes every day for a minimum of 30 consecutive days. For those who are already practicing the Buddha Dharma, their actual practice will work as the commitment.

  • During the year, there will be follow-up meetings with the Centre's resident teacher, Choje Lama Rabsang, so you will have an opportunity to ask questions, get clarification and support for your practice.
