Join us for two special days at Lam Rim, bringing together Buddhist practice, community and time in the beautiful countryside.
Come along for Lama Tsongkhapa Day on Thursday, our community Winter Walk on Friday, or stay overnight and join both events!
Everyone is warmly welcome, whether you're a regular visitor or joining us for the first time.
Day 1 – Lama Tsongkhapa Day: An Afternoon of Prayer & Practice
Join us for a special afternoon of puja, mantra recitation and peaceful meditation in celebration of Lama Tsongkhapa Day (Ganden Ngamchoe), one of the most auspicious days in the Tibetan Buddhist calendar.
This special day commemorates the parinirvana of Lama Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), the great Tibetan Buddhist master and founder of the Gelug tradition. His profound teachings on wisdom, compassion and the path to enlightenment are the main source of guidance and direction for Lam Rim Wales.
We will come together to honour Lama Tsongkhapa's extraordinary life and teachings, engage in traditional practices, accumulate merit and dedicate our prayers for the benefit of all beings.
Afternoon Programme
An afternoon of practice with refreshment breaks, including selections from:
Ganden Lha Gyema (Hundred Deities of the Joyful Land) – Traditional Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga practice, with mantra recitation and peaceful meditation.
Prayers of Lama Tsongkhapa – Songs of the Stages of the Path and In Praise of Dependent Relativity.
Avalokiteshvara & Manjushri Practice – Prayers, mantra and meditation to cultivate compassion & wisdom.
Dedications – Dedicating the merits of our practice.
Stay for Supper
Following the afternoon's practice, you're warmly invited to stay for supper and enjoy time with Dharma friends.
Who Should Join
Everyone is warmly welcome, whether you're a regular practitioner or new to Tibetan Buddhism. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together in practice, deepen your connection with Lama Tsongkhapa's teachings and share in an afternoon of wisdom and compassion.
Day 2 – Lam Rim Winter Walk: A Community Day Out
Join us for a friendly community walk – a lovely opportunity to meet fellow Buddhists, make new friends, enjoy the outdoors and spend time together in good company.
The day will be informal and relaxed, with plenty of opportunities to walk, chat and get to know one another.
Join for all or part of the walk – whatever suits you.
Everyone welcome – newcomers and regulars alike.
Walk at a relaxed pace – enjoying the countryside and good conversation.
Location and route – To be confirmed, with the Forest of Dean among the possibilities.

Our previous community walks have been great fun, so please do come along, enjoy some fresh air, connect with like-minded people and strengthen our wonderful Lam Rim community!
Walk Difficulty
The walk will be easy to moderate in difficulty, so a reasonable level of fitness is recommended. You're welcome to join for the full walk or just part of it, depending on your ability and preference.
