About this course

For many people, Liberating Prayer is the moment in a class when something deeper stirs - a sense of connection, clarity, or inspiration that is hard to describe but easy to recognise. This special course offers a clear commentary to this much‑loved prayer by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, opening up its meaning and showing how it connects us directly to Buddha Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism.

Within just a few lines, the entire path to enlightenment is presented in a way that speaks powerfully to modern life, lifting ancient wisdom out of antiquity and making it vivid, personal, and immediately relevant. You’ll explore how this prayer blesses the mind, awakens our own pure potential, and helps us feel guided and supported by Buddha as a supreme, unchanging friend.

You will:

  • Discover the deeper meaning and structure of Liberating Prayer

  • Understand how it presents the full path to enlightenment in a direct, heartfelt way

  • Learn how to use this prayer to receive inspiration, confidence, and inner strength

If you’ve ever been moved by Liberating Prayer or wondered why it feels so profound, this course will help you experience its power with fresh insight.

The Teacher for this course

This half day course will be 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.

  • Our courses have three parts:

    Guided meditation

    Every course 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.

  • 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.

  • Yes. Our ‘Member Plus’ membership gives online access to courses.
