Centre Closure during Coronavirus

All of you will have been reading the advice from government about dealing with COVID-19/ Coronavirus. We have now shut the centre in line with this advice: this includes all meditations, teachings, visiting the centre during the day, and all yoga programs.

It’s going to be a difficult period for us all; we are working on having “online” teachings and to have a “social media” option open to everyone so we can help with any issues arising through this as best we can. People are going to be in self isolation and the Buddhist teachings have a lot to offer in helping people through this period.

I’m currently in self isolation having just come back into the country so this is slowing down my ability to assist in some of these tasks.

The most important message we want to send is that we want to be providing the best help to members and society as we can. We are working on building an online presence. We will be responding to emails to welcome@haygriva.org.au and doing our best to answer messages left on the phone. It will take a few days to give you more details of what we’ve worked out.

Please remember kindness and compassion as everyone we meet will be struggling with how to best handle these challenges thrown up before us.

All the best;

John Waite, Director

His Holiness the Dalai Lama – Love and Compassion

His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s talk on “Love and Compassion – A Way of Life” at the Bihar Judicial Academy in Patna, Bihar, India on January 18, 2020. After his talk, His Holiness answers questions from the audience.

Recitation of Tara Praises and Mantra

His Holiness the Dalai Lama advises that one of the beneficial practices to do during this time of difficulty with the virus problem is the recitation of the Tara Praises and Tara mantras. Chenrezig Institute, an FPMT centre in Queensland, is now offering Tara Praises and Mantra Recitation daily and online everyday (except Thursdays and Fridays) from 3pm to 3.45pm (AEST) (equates to 1pm to 1.45pm in Perth). You can join these practices online.
