Understanding life and death - Sat 6 Mar

Loyus flower About this course
How to attain everlasting happiness
With Resident Teacher, John McBretney
All life’s sufferings arise because we don’t realise we will die. Due to ignorance of death we are strongly attached to all the attractive things of this life alone which causes endless worries, disappointment, frustration and fear. Understanding death according to Buddha’s supremely skilful teachings frees us naturally from suffering and leads us to spiritual paths, the source of all good qualities and happiness in this life and beyond. Everyone is welcome.

Venue: Heruka Centre, 13 Woodstock Road, Golders Green, NW11 8ES
Date: Sat 6 Mar
Time: 10am - 4pm
Fee: £30 (includes two-course vegetarian lunch)

Please note: Online bookings are now closed. If you have not booked and wish to attend this event, please turn up at the venue at and book for the course when you arrive.

The basics of Buddhism - Sat 17 July

Buddha Shakyamuni About this course
An introduction to inner peace and meditation
Although our understanding and control of the external world is unprecedented, our understanding and control of the internal world of our own minds is very weak. As a result of this imbalance our lives are unsatisfactory and full of problems and worries. By learning essential truths originally taught by Buddha, we can develop an essential spiritual dimension to our lives through which we will gradually free our minds from all suffering and attain the pure and lasting happiness that material success alone cannot provide. Everyone is welcome.

Venue: Heruka Centre, 13 Woodstock Road, Golders Green, NW11 8ES
Date: Sat 17 July
Time: 10am - 4pm
Fee: £30 (includes two-course vegetarian lunch)
