Kadampa Heart: An introduction to Offering to the Spiritual Guide

An introduction to the special Guru Yoga of Je Tsongkhapa | Saturday 10th May | with Kadampa teacher Jeff Simm | Starts 2pm

We are delighted to present a rare introductory teaching on the treasured Kadampa practice, Offering to the Spiritual Guide. these very special verses bring together the entire Buddhist path to Enlightenment within one inspiring prayer, including all the essential meditations of both Sutra and Tantra. This is an opportunity for everyone to explore the ritual side of Kadampa Buddhism- presented in an open way. We will delve into both the meaning and format of OSG to enrich our understanding, and learn how the unique practice of the Guru Yoga of Je Tsongkhapa can empower our own spiritual life.

Je Tsongkhapa is the founder of the New Kadampa Buddhist lineage. Offering to the Spiritual Guide is practised twice a month (10th and 25th) at KMC Manchester and all NKT centres around the world.

Everyone is invited to join OSG prayers after the teaching and there will be an opportunity to ask any questions over refreshments. If you are concerned for someone who is ill, suffering or has recently died, we can make dedications on their behalf during the prayers and you are welcome to add their name. If you wish you can also bring a food offering to put on the shrine.

Teaching: 2pm – 3:30pm
