Hayagriva Buddhist Centre, 64 Banksia Tce, Kensington is hosting a 10 week course of gentle Hatha Yoga with Jude Carter.

The practice of yoga brings about greater flexibility, fitness. Yoga maintains and improves the well being of your body (and mind) by promoting the functioning and balance of the circulatory, nervous, respiratory, endocrine and digestive systems of the body. It also strengthens and tones muscles.
Everyone is welcome and no prior experience is required. If you have some familiarity with yoga you will still benefit from the sense of well being that results from yoga practice.

Saturday 30th August
Saturday, August 23, 2008 (48 reads)
We are holding a 12 hour fast at the Centre next Saturday 30th August following the advice we have received from Kyabje Thubten Zopa Rinpoche, supporting the initiative of the Tibetan Government in Exile.
The purpose of the fast is to:
- Celebrate freedom of expression in this country and encourage people to speak out in a non violent way when they see the need arise. This action also recommits us to the non-violent path.
- Create merit for the long life of our teachers especially His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
- Bring blessings for those that have suffered torture and death due to repression around the world, particularly in Tibet, or have created the acts of repression and torture.
- Reduce our own defilements and create wisdom and compassion in the minds of the oppressed and oppressors.

Welcome Venerable Choden Rinpoche!
Wednesday, December 19, 2007 (328 reads)
Venerable Choden Rinpoche is one of the greatest living masters of Tibetan Buddhism. He was born in 1933 in eastern Tibet in a family of great practitioners and recognized at the age of 3 as an important reincarnate lama. From that age onwards, he began his studies in Buddhism. He took ordination with the great master Pabongka Rinpoche at the age of 6, and received many teachings from him.
At the age of 15, Rinpoche entered the monastery of Sera Je near Lhasa and over the next 14 years mastered all the philosophical teachings required for highest monastic title of Geshe Lharampa - a qualification that normally requires 30 years of study. When His Holiness the Dalai Lama completed his studies in 1959, Choden Rinpoche was one of the official examiners chosen from many thousands of monks to debate with His Holiness.

Illuminating the Path
Tuesday, November 13, 2007 (285 reads)
 Ven Dondrub continues his historic first presentation of the entire Graduated Path to Enlightenment. The text for this wonderful exposition is His Holiness the Dalai Lama's commentary on Atisha'a "Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment". As an example of the Dalai Lama's inspiring words, consider this extract from page 70. "Once we develop a deep conviction in the validity of the Buddha's teachings, we gain an admiration for and faith in the Buddha himself. Based on these considerations, we can recognise the validity of the Buddha's teachings on karma. It is on this basis that we then engage in the practice of ethical discipline, refraining from the ten non-virtuous actions." Ven Dondrub brings his deep understanding to help students understand and realise the teachings.
