Dzogchen Community UK

Address: Flat 5 Bernard Hegarty Lodge 81 Lansdowne Drive   London E8 3EP
Tradition: Non-Sectarian
E-mail: amely.becker@dzogchencommunity.org
Website: http://www.dzogchencommunity.org
Find on:
Spiritual Director: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu  
Notes and Events:

Dzogchen is an ancient spiritual teaching developed in Tibet within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It does not belong to a school or religious system. Rather, it is the knowledge that Tibetan masters have transmitted without being limited by sectarianism. The word Dzogchen, meaning total perfection, actually refers to the true inherent nature of all beings, their primordial state, which is free from all limitations and conditioning. The masters transmission of this state of knowledge lies at the very heart of the Dzogchen teachings.

The Dzogchen tradition has been passed from master to student in an unbroken lineage over the centuries, right up to the present day. Due to its direct and unelaborate approach, it transcends cultural boundaries making it accessible to all nationalities alike regardless of their spiritual background.

The Dzogchen teachings are divided in three series: Semde, Longde and Mennagde. The three series are three ways of presenting the teaching, each with its corresponding methods of practice; the aim of all three, however, is to lead the practitioner to final realization.

In Semde, the mind series, the practitioner is introduced to the nature of mind in order to have a actual experience of it.

Longde means the space series: in this instance space refers to the primordial dimension of emptiness which serves as a base for manifesting the clarity of the practitioner, and for developing their understanding.

Mennagde, the essential series of secret instructions or Upadesha, comprises special teachings and methods based on the experiences of masters, with the aim of helping the practitioner progress up to complete realization.

Notes and Events:

Welcome to the East Coast/Atlanta Jōdo-shū Community, a space dedicated to spreading the profound teachings of Honen Shonin, a 12th-century Japanese Buddhist Monk, and the essence of Pure Land Buddhism throughout Atlanta, the East Coast of the United States, and beyond. While we're rooted in Atlanta, Georgia, our doors are open wide to individuals from every corner of the globe, transcending state, country, or location boundaries.

At the heart of Jōdo-shū, or the Pure Land School, lies the simple yet profound practice of Nembutsu. Through the repeated recitation of "Namu Amida Butsu" (I take refuge in Amida Buddha), we align our hearts and minds with the Primal 18th vow of Amida Buddha. This vow, solemnly made by Amida Buddha, states, "If, when I achieve Buddhahood, sentient beings of the ten directions who sincerely and joyfully entrust themselves to me, wish to be reborn in my land and recite my name, even ten times, should fail to be born there, may I not attain perfect enlightenment. Excepted are those who commit the five gravest transgressions or slander the correct Dharma."

Our community is a meeting ground for Nembutsu practitioners, regardless of their specific tradition or school. Here, we come together to find mutual fulfillment, engage in edifying discussions, share valuable resources, and collectively advance the teachings of Honen Shonin. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth as we explore the path of Pure Land Buddhism and celebrate the timeless wisdom of Honen Shonin. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just beginning your journey, you're warmly welcomed to be a part of our inclusive and supportive community.

Namu Amida Butsu and welcome!
