The days are short, Christmas lights are twinkling, and it is almost the end of the autumn programme. It has been a most successful few weeks. Thank you for your support.
The stall on the evening of 16th November looked good and attracted a lot of interest. Aro Ling Buddhist Centre looks forward to welcoming new visitors who chatted to Nor’dzin and ’ö-Dzin that evening.
Next week—Sunday 30th November till Sunday 7th December—Nor’dzin and ’ö-Dzin will be on retreat with their students, so Aro Ling Buddhist Centre will not be open during the day for Tibetan Yoga and other daytime activities. The evening events will continue as usual however, with
Meditation Group on Tuesday at 7pm, and the last evening of the
Wearing the Body of Visions course on Thursday at 7pm. The Saturday morning event:
Discovering the Spaciousness of Mind will also run as usual.
Thursday 4th December will be a special evening at Aro Ling, because Ngakma Nor’dzin and Ngakpa ’ö-Dzin will be giving a tantric empowerment. These do not occur very often and this is only the second time since the centre opened in September 2013. It is an opportunity not to be missed! Transmission will be given for the mantra of Ma-chig Labdrön, one of the greatest female tantric practitioners of Tibet.
The new programme for the start of 2015 is being arranged. There will be two new courses:
Living, Dreaming, Dying; and
the Songs of the Owl-Faced Dakini.
Living, Dreaming, Dying will be running on Saturday mornings in January, and
the Songs of the Owl-Faced Dakini will be the Thursday evening course starting later in January. The dates will be confirmed and on the website soon:
aro-ling.org/cardiff.
After the retreat closure next week, the regular drop-in events will continue as usual until the 19th December, and then there will be a break for the holidays. The first event after the 19th December will be in the new year
on the 3rd January 2015:
Discovering the Spaciousness of Mind, 10 - 12. All other activities will then recommence as usual from 3rd January.
