Many of us will be attending Rinpoche’s annual Summer School in France from the end of the month, so it is an ideal time to get some jobs done at Marpa House and minimise disruption. We will be replacing our boiler and oil tank, and as a result, the house will be closed to visitors from 28th July until 18th August to ensure the installation is completed. The daily pujas will be maintained by helpers who look after the House. If you have a request for a puja dedication, please either call the house on 01799 584 415 and leave a message with the details, or email as usual (emails will be checked daily for prayer requests).

Meditation Sunday – These sessions are suitable for meditators of all levels, with guided meditation from experienced sangha members, and are offered free of charge. We hope you can join us. Shamatha (or ‘Shi-ne’) is the foundation for all further meditation practice. It is designed to create the calm, stable, supple mind necessary to work with other meditation techniques, as well as being a practice in its own right.
