Longer Courses
Our special courses take place at Easter, Summer and the New Year. These courses are held over 4-5 days and include teachings which are suitable for both beginners and for those with some experience. The Easter and New Year courses are taught by the Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Lekma, and the Summer course is taught by a senior student.
These courses are very popular and widely enjoyed. Each course has a particular topic, and includes teachings, meditations and question and answer sessions. In between sessions there is a chance to relax in the Hall or in Madhyamaka Centre’s World Peace Café, or to explore the surrounding rambling countryside.
