Notes and Events:

As a general introduction to our meditation practice, the purpose is to develop focused clarity in our everyday lives by training the muscle of awareness and presentness in formal meditation sessions. Our style of practice is with eyes open, accepting of and sensitivity to our five senses, using the breath to focus us back intot the present moment, and a gentle relationship with thinking and an accepting relationship to thoughts. While this might seem to be a focus on personal development, our ultimate objective is to be better able to help and heal the societies we find ourselves in: home, friends, work and volunteering.

Meditation every second Sunday open to the public at the auditorium of Brentwood Co-op. From 9:30 to 1:30 (come and leave at any time). If this is your first time joining us for meditation, please use the contact information below for a brief orientation. The general schedule for these sessions is

Teacher: Geshe Trinly Gyatso  
Notes and Events:

THE JAM TSE CHO LING TIBETAN BUDDHIST TEMPLE IN CALGARY (JTCL), was founded by His Eminence The 9th Tulku Neten Rinpoche. Our Temple draws on the teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and is dedicated to the preservation of Tibetan Buddhism of Nalanda tradition and to make available its precious teachings to all who seek to live happy and meaningful lives and become instrumental in promoting peace and harmony among all people. Through this, our temple hopes to fulfil the purpose of Buddha’s teachings, helping practitioners to realize their boundless compassion and wisdom that safeguard and protect the welfare of all living beings and ultimately attain full enlightenment.

The meaning of Jam Tse Cho Ling:

  • JAM means loving-kindness
  • TSE means compassion
  • CHO means Buddha’s teachings or Doctrine or Dharma. It can be subsumed under two categories:
    • Scriptural teachings: The transmission of Buddha’s teachings extant in oral and scriptural form.
    • The transmission of insight: wisdom and realizations gained through practice of the training.
  • LING means a Centre where Buddha’s doctrine is taught and practiced

As we create this webpage, we remember the kindness that His Holiness the Dalai Lama has shown to all sentient beings and his relentless work to create a world of peace and compassion. May we each aspire to emulate His example. Long Live H.H. 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. May His aspirations for world and Tibet be realized quickly.
