A day of mind training focused on developing wisdom and compassion will be held at the Quaker Meeting House in Exeter on 7 November 2026, beginning at 10:30. The event will consist of four one-hour sessions, including meditation, teachings, and personal reflection. Participants are encouraged to arrive early and bring food for lunch.
**Mind training** is a central Mahayana Buddhist practice aimed at shifting the habitual focus from *self* to *others*. With an unparalleled directness, it allow us to transform all situations, positive and negative, into the path of awakening wisdom and compassion . The only qualification we need to practise the teaching is, as Lama Jampa Thaye has said, ‘our ordinary, confused mind, full of disturbing emotions, full of self-clinging and self-cherishing.' The day is **four one‑hour sessions**, each including: * A period of sitting meditation * Listening to a section of the teaching * Time for personal reflection * Space for questions The day will be led by Miranda and Rachel, both long-standing students of Tibetan Buddhist master Lama Jampa Thaye. * Please arrive by 10.15am for a 10.30am start and bring food for lunch (to share if you wish) * **Sessions:** 10.30-11.30am / 12.00-1.00pm / 2.15-3.15pm / 3.45-4.45pm * **Facility Fee:** £15 (cash only) for the full day – concessions available * **Contact:** exeter@dechen.org (01392) 841904 All welcome!
