7.30pm - Rupal Patel and Jack Leslie, Money: The Inside Story

Description Please note event tickets are neither exchangeable nor refundable. Tuesday 21st July, 7:30pm Backstory, 71 Balham High Rd, SW12 9AP Bank of England economists Rupal Patel and Jack Leslie join us to talk all things money - how does it really work and what happens when it doesn't? Money: The Inside Story follows on from their bestselling book Can't We Just Print More Money? About the book: Where does money come from? What gives a £1 coin its value? And whose job is it to actually print banknotes? Most of us think about money every day. But we tend not to think about how weird it is: a totally abstract concept, built entirely on trust, which somehow makes the whole world function. The Bank of England know more about money than most – after all, they are the ones responsible for making sure it works. Now, the Bank answer all the questions about money that you’ve never thought to ask – from what makes money money, to how private banks create money every time they give out a loan, to what happens to cash when it’s past its sell by date (it’s often moulded into garden furniture, as it turns out). Along the way, they offer your one-stop guide to how money really works – and where it might be going next. Tickets Available: Ticket only - £15 (This ticket does not include a copy of the book. You can decide to buy a copy on the night, but this will be charged in addition, at the full price of the book.) Ticket & book (RRP £18.99)- £27 (To collect on the night.)

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.
