Chittamani Tara Puja

Chittamani (Mind Jewel) Tara, is the Highest Yoga Tantra form of Tara, the female Buddha. The benefits of Tara practice according to Lama Zopa Rinpoche: Tara is quick to grant success in obtaining the ultimate happiness of enlightenment. You receive much good merit, or cause of happiness; it prevents a suffering rebirth in your next life; you receive initiation from millions of buddhas; and you achieve enlightenment. Besides these, however, Tara practice has many other benefits. Reciting the Twenty-one Taras’ prayer with devotion, at dawn or dusk—or remembering Tara, singing praises and reciting mantras at any time of the day or night—protects you from fear and dangers, and fulfill all your wishes. If you pray to Tara, Tara is particularly quick to grant help. This practice is restricted to practitioners who hold a Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment Please register using the link below before attending this event. As part of our commitment to care for your spiritual wellbeing, and that of our teachers and the center as a whole, we kindly ask everyone who wishes to engage in this practice answer a few short questions about their practice background.

Edna Bonhomme & Lola Olufemi: Tending to Our Wounds

Haitian-American scholar Edna Bonhomme, now based in Berlin, is well placed to unpick what it means to be Black at home and abroad. In Tending to Our Wounds , part memoir, part history, part polemic, she unlearns the lies that she was told about slavery and colonialism, and charts a breathtaking course between the individual and the collective, between past and future, and between oppression and resistance. She will be in conversation with Lola Olufemi, author of Feminism for the World , Feminism Interrupted and Experiments in Imagining Otherwise .

More about North Southwark

Greater London, England

North Southwark is that patch of Greater London where the Tube lines meet and the local shops know your name before you do. It feels like a proper neighbourhood rather than just another postcode in the capital, with enough space to find a quiet spot or a lively one without the usual crush. We pull together everything from community gatherings to casual meetups so you can plan your evening without hunting for details. Whether you fancy a chat over tea or want to see what's on near the river, we keep it simple and local.
