This is a special practice of relying upon our Spiritual Guide as a Buddha and making praises and requests to him, but it also contains beautiful essential instructions on all the stages of the path to enlightenment and training the mind, as well as both the generation and completion stages of Highest Yoga Tantra.
We also make specific prayers for our friends, family members, Sangha and others who are suffering or who have died. This practice includes a vegetarian tsog offering, which you can bring with you to puja or simply imagine.

Buddhist Insights for Peace
Life often feels busy and uncertain. Yet beneath it all, each of us is quietly shaping our own path through the thoughts we think and the choices we make. Buddha taught that our experiences are not random. They arise from causes – and those causes begin in the mind.Each of us is walking a path – shaped by our thoughts, choices, and habits. But what determines where our journey will lead?
In these meditation classes, we explore Buddha’s practical teaching on virtue, non-virtue, and delusion as a guide for everyday life. Everything begins in the mind. Thoughts give rise to intentions, intentions become actions, and actions bring results.
In this meditation class series – Through guided meditation and clear Buddhist insights, you’ll learn how to recognise harmful patterns, reduce toxic tendencies, and strengthen positive states of mind. Instead of reacting on autopilot, you’ll gain practical tools to respond with awareness and purpose.
Each class includes guidance on how to focus on your breath and then strengthen your mindfulness of your breath. A simple and practical way of connecting with our own inner peace. There is also a guided meditation to take the specific wisdom of that class deeper into your heart and an opportunity for discussion and refreshments afterwards.
Join our meditation classes in Durban and discover practical Buddhist wisdom for everyday peace.
