The Teacher for the Bewdley class
The Bewdley ‘Meditation & Daily Life’ class is led by our resident teacher, Gen Kelsang Khechog.
Known for his thoughtful nature, Gen Khechog presents Buddha’s teachings with relatable clarity, showing how to connect these beautiful meditations with the realities of modern daily life.
The venue
The Bewdley class is held at The Bewdley Friends Meeting House, Lower Park, Bewdley, DY12 2DP.
There is limited parking at the venue (we normally block each other in and work it out at the end of the night)! Redthorne House and Gardner’s Meadow carparks are very close and inexpensive.

Our classes have three parts:
Guided meditation
Every class (except for ‘Friday Night Lectures’) includes a chance to practise meditation. No prior experience is necessary and all the meditations are guided.
Teaching
From Buddha’s teachings, these practical talks help us to solve our daily problems and find peace, happiness and, if we wish, a deeper purpose in our busy lives.
Discussion
A chance to discuss the topic of the talk and meditation with others during the break over refreshments. No one is ever ‘put on the spot’ and asked to talk in a class. The teacher will normally make time for questions, and will be happy to clarify any points during the class too.
-
Yes. Courses cover a wide variety of topics from simple stress reduction to profound wisdom teachings, but are always taught in an accessible way such that everyone leaves with some practical insight they can use in daily life.
One exception to this is our monthly ‘Tantra’ class. Please see the Tantra class page for details.
-
No. People from all backgrounds attend JLC to find peace according to their own individual needs and wishes. Everybody is welcome.
-
No special clothing is needed. Our courses do not include any physical exercise and most people choose to sit on chairs, though cushions are also set out for those who prefer to sit on the floor.
-
Other than removing shoes before going in to the meditation room (they can be worn as normal elsewhere) and turning phones off during session, there are no special rules to follow. People are always very pleasantly surprised with just how informal, welcoming and down to earth Jangchub Ling is; you’ll feel right at home in no time.
-
Walk-ins are very welcome. You can pay on arrival (cash/card) or book online in advance. Block booking discounts are available.
-
Centre members can access several of our classes online and we hope to offer online courses in the future too. Please see our ‘membership’ page for a list of online classes.
