The Four Close Placements of Mindfulness offer a practical path to deep awareness, clarity, and inner transformation. This timeless framework invites us to observe our experience with wisdom and compassion:

Mindfulness of the Body – grounding attention in the physical body, breath, and sensations to cultivate presence and stability.
Mindfulness of Feelings – recognising pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral experiences without grasping or aversion.
Mindfulness of the Mind – becoming aware of thoughts and mental states, seeing their changing and insubstantial nature.
Mindfulness of Phenomena – exploring how all experiences arise and pass away, deepening insight into reality.

This teaching will be taught by resident monk and teacher Geshe Jampa Tharchin who holds the highest Lharampa Geshe degree from decades of study in Sera Je Monastery in India.
Geshe-la teaches in English and Tibetan with interpretation support from resident interpreter Jelena Kirsch.
