Webinar "Enjoy with compassion" with Paula Chichester

  • Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom London United Kingdom (map)

You can organise your life with wisdom. How? One way is by trying to make it beneficial to others rather than by living it simply for your own enjoyment. When your life is integrated and you're a wise, knowledgeable person giving a beautiful, peaceful vibration to others, it's so worthwhile.- Lama Yeshe, Founder of Universal Education and FDCW

Join us for the final session in our popular webinar series on Compassion on Tuesday 31st January at 10am GMT ( check your time zone here). When compassion flows naturally through us it feels good. Sometimes our compassion becomes blocked. During this event Paula Chichester will explore some of the blocks that can arise eg anger, low self esteem, guilt and feeling overwhelmed and presents practical methods for becoming more joyful and self-compassionate. We will celebrate how to enjoy our life without feeling guilty or anxious. The session will close with a meditation led by Paula.

From Paula Chichester..........

As an adolescent in Berkeley in the 1960’s, I began a search for a means to shift the dominant paradigm of our perceptions of reality in order to survive the coming environmental chaos and resulting social unrest. A decade later, upon meeting Lama Thubten Yeshe and his teachers and disciples, I discovered a totally unique, mind-blowing, game-changing science of mind/spirit/ body that I thought could shift our perceptions to something bigger, to actually be able to go beyond small ego needs and feel the interconnectedness of all life. ……. I had studied the ecology of our planet, here was the ecology of mind. Here was the science that was missing from my education that can transform human greed and ignorance to end war and save life as we know it on Earth.

I was compelled to investigate, so I embarked on a lifelong experiment to see if a western person could indeed realise what I was being taught and experiencing in the presence of great Buddhist teachers, such as His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. Perhaps Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche saw me as an experiment as well. I followed their advice as we embarked on a 40 year journey of study and retreats. I told Lama Yeshe I wanted to become a mahasiddha, so I trained as the mahasiddhas of the past, which took a lot of years in solitude.
