Sunday 14th October: Temple Visit to Jamyang Tibetan Buddhist Temple

This is a great opportunity to see a working Tibetan temple and to experience the flavour of the living Tibetan Buddhism.

We are also very lucky as there is also a precious exhibition of sacred relics of the Buddha and other Buddhist masters at the temple this weekend. The relics are crystal-like objects found in the post-cremation ash of holy beings such as the historical Buddha, his disciples, commentators on his teachings, lineage founders and modern day lamas.

The relics have come to London as party of a tour run by the Maitreya Project. The relics will finally rest in a huge statue of the next Buddha ‘Maitreya’ that is being built in India. This statue will also function as a building with temples, schools and a hospital!

Monday 15th October: Talk by LKPY (Loving Kindness Peaceful Youth)

A organisation for peace conceived by Buddhist monk Lama Zopa.

WHO?

LKPY (Loving Kindness Peaceful Youth) is an international peace organisation for young people, set to launch in the middle of 2007.

There are many peace and youth organisations out there, but what makes us different is our perception of peace. We don’t view peace as just the absence of war. LKPY believes peace comes from the individual - it’s about changing our way of ‘thinking and doing’ to a more serene approach to: ourselves; to others and the environment.

We aim to include everyone…

All faiths, non-faiths, cultures, sizes, shapes, colours, backgrounds and ages. Even though we say youth, we just mean young thinking. When people are young they tend to think differently, they are inspired to make a difference, make changes and they are passionate about the place they live in and surrender to old age habits.

There is a saying “a waterfall starts from just one drop of water”…LKPY believes “Peace starts from just one person”.
