BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY SUMMER SCHOOL
-- Time to book --
David Brazier & Iris Dotan Katz - An in person meeting
If you are planning to come to the Summer School this year, now is the time to register your interest. There are only a limited number of places.
Enquiries & bookings to Jisshas <

Following the success of last year's Summer School, we are offering a five day residential workshop to explore Buddhist Psychology in theory and practice - especially practice. This is an excellent option for students on the BP programme, but the workshop is open to all who are interested.
The suggested donation for full board at Eleusis is 40€ per day, 250€ per week. Last year the students took over the catering and we thus had cuisine from a different country each day. As cooks often like to do their own shopping this can, of course, be taken into account when making a donation for the course and tutors.
Thursdays 16:30
FAITH & PRACTICE
Meeetings resume tomorrow, 8th June. Priti & David hold a one hour session each Thursday afternoon, each week reading a further section of the Commentary on the Summary of Faith & Practice. This is an in-depth examination of the fundamentals of our approach to Dharma practice.
