Regular schedule: Kagyu Samten Choling meets Tuesday evenings at the West End Studio Theater (WEST), 959 Islington Street, Portsmouth, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Whenever possible, we open the doors early at 7:15pm. If we're not there early, please wait for us.

Newcomers are always welcome at any of our activities in Portsmouth and Barrington, and instruction and orientation are provided as needed.

Our regular Tuesday meetings throughout the year consist of a brief period of study and discussion, followed by 30-45 minutes of calm abiding (shinay, shamatha) and walking meditation.

We have recently added the short  practice of Medicine Buddha. We will chant  this traditional Tibetan practice on the first Tuesday of each month. Lama Norlha Rinpoche has suggested many times the great benefits of doing this practice in a group setting. He is very pleased that we are once again offering this practice in Portsmouth.

Study topic, fall 2007- summer 2008:  We are reading The Joy of Living by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. It is an excellent introduction to Buddhist philosophy and meditation practice, including parallels with the latest developments in Western brain science, and stories from Rinpoche's own life.

Instructions for taking and sending meditation and a list of selected Seven Points of Mind Training slogans are available on the website for continuing review and practice.
