At Phuntsok Chö Ling, you’ll be taught by Tibetan teacher Lama Jigmé Namgyal, the founder and spiritual teacher of our center. He introduces you to the Buddhist perspective on life in an accessible way. You’ll learn about the workings of the mind and methods for bringing peace to it. This instruction will give your meditation a deeper meaning and greater impact in your daily practice.
From a Western perspective, you always follow group 1 first, then group 2, etc. Buddhist teaching is different. Phuntsok Chö Ling uses a class system based on traditional Tibetan Buddhism.
Following classes online
Many of Phuntsok Chö Ling’s classes can be followed online. Zoom is used, and participants can also use their microphone and/or camera to ask Lama Jigmé questions or comment on the lessons.
Absence
If you’re unable to attend a class you’ve registered for, please let your facilitator know. Please send a message to your facilitator in the WhatsApp group for the class in question.
Facilitators
In all classes, Lama Jigme Rinpoche’s teachings are supported and facilitated by experienced students. They make it possible to follow the lessons and provide the structure of the evening. The facilitators are not teachers, but they can offer tips based on their own experience. If you have any questions, you can ask them during the class (online on Mondays and Wednesdays) or in person on the evenings when Lama Jigmé teaches at the temple.
