Building Inner Strength

September 24 & 25, 2022 

2-Day Non-Residential Course Led by Venerable Lozang Drolma.

This short course on secular human values is open to all!

‘The highest potential of each human being is great kindness and understanding, having sensitivity to each other; and the understanding of immediate and ultimate needs of others’ – Lama Yeshe, Founder of Universal Education

This course will introduce you to 16 guidelines for life – timeless universal values each of which are rooted in the foundations of compassion and wisdom.

Compassion is the primary attitude leading to personal and collective happiness. Wisdom being an understanding of our mind and of the reality of the world, is key to developing compassion. Embodying these 16 universal attitudes can facilitate lasting change in our minds through strengthening emotional resilience and warm-heartedness aligning with our true nature.

If you are interested to explore these values and see how they align with your own core values and would like to try some of the techniques on offer for building inner strength, then come join us in the beautiful setting of Tushita for this day and a half exploration

• Tips for finding accommodation in McLeod Ganj.

What to Bring

• Warm clothing which can be worn in layers and a shawl/blanket for using in the meditation hall are advisable. Bear in mind that we are at a slightly higher altitude than in McLeod Ganj, it is noticeably colder here.
• You are welcome to take notes during the course, so you may find a notebook, pen etc useful.
• It is handy to have your own water bottle. Filtered water is available in our dining hall and out of concern for the environment, we strongly discourage students from buying water in plastic bottles.
• An umbrella or rainwear, depending on the weather that day.
• Please read our Library page: we sell books and other items, so you may want to bring some extra money with you; or check conditions for borrowing.
• Please DO NOT bring: any musical instruments, camera, radios / tape / CD / MP3 players or mobile phones as you will be asked not to use them while you are here.
