Assemble the tools you need to develop a successful daily practice. Using Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s A Daily Meditation Practice as a guide, become familiar with the elements necessary to generate realizations in the mind, including the seven-limb practice, how to set up an altar with offerings and how to structure a meditation session. Techniques for practicing in daily life will also be covered.
There is no prerequisite for this course. It is not
necessary to have taken any prior Discovering Buddhism
modules. You are welcome to review past Discovering Buddhism
sessions in the OCBC YouTube video archive.
This program is offered in collaboration with
Land of Medicine Buddha.
Born in Scotland, in 1970, Venerable Angie
Muir obtained a Bachelor's Degree in
1992. Feeling disillusioned with her prospective career
path and life ahead of her, she left Scotland and combined
travelling with work in Asia for 3 years until in 1995 she
felt a calling to go to India to explore meditation and
find her life path. Within a few months she “had the
incredible fortune due to some previous karma” to discover
Tibetan Buddhism, and meet her main spiritual teacher
Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche (of almost 30 years) and become
ordained.
Venerable Angie has been a Buddhist nun for over 25
years. During this time, she served at Lama Zopa
Rinpoche's residences in the U.S. for 13 years. In
addition to doing various personal retreats, she has
offered service, teaching, and leading meditation at other
FPMT centers.
