All of our classes are suitable for people who are new to Buddhism, and also those who wish to deepen their experience within a lively and supportive community. It is more productive if you can attend the complete course each time, but it is also fine to drop in when your circumstances allow.
Following Government advice, we have sadly made the decision to cancel our face-to-face classes, until allowed to meet again. We are using Zoom, an online meetings platform, to continue the classes. If you are interested in joining us in this way just follow the links on the home page to the one describing the course. It is easy to use, but if you have any problems, contact Sandra at admin@jamyangbath.org.uk and she will try her best to help. There are more detailed instructions at the bottom of this page.
These are all offered cost free – please enjoy.
However if you do wish to contribute financially, can we suggest making a donation to Land of Joy, our retreat centre in Northumberland. Run by volunteers, they still have hefty overheads and now have no income from retreats. We’d like them to still be there when this is all over! Or make a donation to FDCW, who have given us the Building Inner Strength programme. Thank you – but only if you wish.

In addition, the FPMT UK has gathered together details of all the UK groups and centres in one place – scroll down to the bottom of this page for access to the calendar. They are now all very accessible online, and there are some fabulous courses and teachers out there. This will be updated each Friday, so keep checking in.
If Zoom doesn’t work for you, then please make good use of our recorded teachings, here, as well as the many other wonderful Dharma resources online. As a starter, the FPMT have made a number of their online courses available for free. They can be accessed here. Likewise, our friends at FDCW are offering courses, and their free app, 16 Guidelines for Life, is very supportive for a short daily practice.
Try to stay positive. If you have any questions or comments, or just want to keep in touch, please contact Kay or Martin at courses@jamyang.org.uk. And keep an eye on our website and Facebook pages for any updates.

How to use Zoom
If you’ve not used Zoom before then don’t be put off!
• Download Zoom to your computer or phone (https://zoom.us/)
• Click on the link above.
• Your computer (or phone) will ask you if you want to open Zoom. Say Yes.
• You will connect automatically to the meeting. You shouldn’t need to enter a code, but probably the password.
• Remember to ‘Join with computer audio’ and ensure your Video is switched on.
No camera? You don’t have to have a camera – you can still join just with audio.
If you haven’t downloaded Zoom beforehand, clicking the link will still connect you to the meeting.
You will be asked if you want to connect EITHER via your browser OR by clicking ‘Download and run Zoom’. Choose the second option – it will work better and mean you can see everyone at once. |
