After over 10 years having done different activities at different places we are very happy to announce to you the new place for the Centre Culturel Tibétain at 1, rue Charlotte Engels, L-1482, Luxembourg. It is a very nice place on a perfect location and in a very nice area of Luxembourg city.

This is a big step forward for our centre. We are very grateful to all of you who contributed to our having arrived at this point. So many people were involved over the last 10 years to pull the weight. Without the support of all of you this would never have been possible.

Brendan HeartyBrendan Hearty‘s early years brought him under the influence of legendary Louth fiddle player Peter McArdle playing in Marks bar, Dundalk, where many of the country’s finest musicians gathered during the early seventies. He has toured with many fine musicians in Europe, USA and Australia. Brendan’s interest in early American traditional music led to his involvement with The Higgler’s Jug Band with whom he recorded two albums. Brendan is a unique singer and song writer, and fronts the Brendan Hearty Band, well known in the West of Ireland. He also performs regularly with Andrew MacNamara.

Oliver Tennyson Oliver Tennyson plays mandolin, concertina and harmonica. He sings traditional and original self penned compositions. He also makes mandolins and works in the visual arts.

Consciousness unraveledConscience démêlée

Seminar with various speakers

SAT 27 JUN 2015 | 12:00 — 16:00

Is that what we perceive as real truly the reality ? Or is this only our personnal perception of that reality ? Are our opinions and perceptions of events in our environment reliable ? Or does our consciousness play a game with us ? And if it is truly our own consciousness, can’t we then simply stop these games ?

Phuntsok Chö Ling, Tibetan Buddhist Centre in Rotterdam, organises Saturday 27 June 2015 a special seminar with the theme « consciousness unraveled ». During this event, three different speakers will shed a light on the functioning of our consciousness.

Speakers

  • Lama Jigmé Namgyal (Buddhist teacher of Phuntsok Chö Ling)
  • Dr. Linda van der Zwaan (Teacher and education coordinator)
  • Joop Burgerhout (Psychologist and sociologist of religion)
  • Dr. Berthe Jansen (Tibetan-Dutch translator)

Lama Jigmé Namgyal visit to Ireland 9th to 16th April 2015

Once more we are happy to announce that Lama Jigmé Namgyal will be giving teachings in Ireland in April.

A weekend course based on ‘The Seven Points of Mind Training’ will take place on Sat 11th and Sun 12th April at Center, Feakle, County Clare.

This text on mind training, called lojong in Tibetan, was brought to Tibet by Atisha in the eleventh century. Its purpose is to help bring about a change of perspective by freeing the mind from the tyranny of self-grasping which Buddhists believe to be the root cause of suffering. These teachings can be enjoyed by everyone, for those with some knowledge of Buddhism and for newcomers.

Developing Compassion – Study Retreat (Netherlands)Developing Compassion – Study Retreat (Netherlands)

Phuntsok Chö Ling, Tibetan Buddhist Centre in Rotterdam, organizes one week study retreat led by Lama Jigmé Namgyal.

It will take place in the beautiful woods of Oosterhout, Netherland. Lama Jigmé will give profound instructions on developing compassion. As long as we continue to focus primarily on our own desires and needs we can never find true happiness and conquer our negative emotions and disturbances. True happiness arises through benefiting others. That is why compassion is the source of true happiness for ourselves and others.
