SUMMARY:Meeting the Storm of Emotions:Transforming Anger from Within
DESCRIPTION:Strong emotions can sweep in quickly – one sharp comment\, one disappointment\, one tense moment – and suddenly anger\, jealousy\, attachment\, pride\, or confusion are running the show. \nOn this Saturday\, American Buddhist teacher\, Ven. Amy Miller\, offers a clear and comprehensive explanation of the most negative and impactful emotions\, as described in Mahayana Buddhism\, along with their practical and effective antidotes. \nThe Buddha understood something deeply human: we can’t stop emotions from arising\, but we can change how we relate to them. When we do\, even slightly\, life becomes easier to navigate – there is more space between impulse and action\, less feeling of being taken over\, and more clarity in conversations and choices. \nWe will explore anger and its antidote\, patience\, paired with tools you can use in daily life: at work\, in traffic\, during conflict\, or when expectations don’t match reality. Other imbalances in the mind will be discussed as well. \nThis Saturday isn’t abstract philosophy; it’s a grounded\, accessible way to understand your mind and meet strong emotions with more steadiness and spaciousness. Whether you’re completely new to Buddhism or simply looking for steadier ways to better understand your mind\, you are warmly welcome. Come with your whole\, ordinary\, beautifully complicated human self and the curiosity and willingness to explore what transformation might feel like from the inside out. \nMeditation and exercises included along with questions and answers.

SUMMARY:Engaging in the Bodhisattva’s Way of LifeChapter 3: Embracing Bodhicitta
DESCRIPTION:(Open to all participants\, even if you missed Chapters 1 and 2) \nThe Way of the Bodhisattva or The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life (the Bodhicaryavatara)\, Master Shantideva’s stunning missive\, is one of Buddhism’s most cherished and transformative texts. It is a rare blend of wisdom\, courage\, radical compassion\, and unapologetic honesty about what it means to serve others in a messy\, complicated world. Across centuries\, practitioners have returned to this text not only for insight\, but for orientation: \n\nHow do we keep our hearts open when life is difficult?\n How do we work for the benefit of others without burning out?\nHow do we walk the Bodhisattva path with steadiness\, spaciousness\, and clarity?\n\nThis ongoing evening course\, taught by Ven. Amy Miller\, offers a fresh\, accessible commentary on Shantideva’s teachings\, making them immediately relevant to modern practitioners—especially those who have taken the Bodhisattva vows or who dedicate their lives to helping others. Even if you’ve done the Basic Program course on this text\, Ven. Amy presents a practical approach complete with a Toolkit of exercises\, meditations\, and reflections to further assist students. \nShantideva’s genius lies in how directly he speaks to the real challenges of the path: frustration\, fear\, self-doubt\, impatience\, and discouragement. And his antidotes—joyful effort\, ethical clarity\, patience\, compassion\, and the profound view of emptiness—remain some of the most precise tools for anyone aspiring to live with purpose and serve others wisely. \nThis course is especially suited for students with some background in Buddhism who want to deepen their understanding of the Bodhisattva ideal and strengthen the qualities that sustain long-term service: resilience\, clarity\, compassion\, and steadiness of heart. \nWho is this course for? \n\nStudents with foundational Buddhist study\nPractitioners who have taken (or are drawn to) the Bodhisattva vows\nAnyone committed to serving others—professionally\, spiritually\, or personally\nThose wanting steady\, long-term nourishment for the heart of their practice\n\nJoin us as we step into Shantideva’s luminous path—one verse at a time—learning how to bring courage\, compassion\, and clarity into every corner of our lives.

SUMMARY:Awakening Compassion:Shantideva’s Guide to Developing Bodhichitta & Spiritual Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Amsterdam City Retreat (Saturday & Sunday)\n\nThe path of the Bodhisattva begins in the heart. This weekend retreat invites practitioners to dive deeply into the first two chapters of Shantideva’s The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life\, exploring the cultivation of bodhichitta—the awakened mind of compassion—and the power of reliance on the spiritual guide. \nThrough inspiring teaching\, guided meditation\, and reflective practice\, we will explore the benefits of generating bodhichitta in our daily lives: how selfless intention can transform our thoughts\, actions\, and relationships\, and how it becomes the foundation for courage\, wisdom\, and resilience. \nWe will also examine the practice of reliance on the spiritual guide\, uncovering how humility\, honest reflection\, and guidance from a realized teacher support the unfolding of wisdom and the deepening of compassion. Participants will engage in practical exercises and meditations designed to integrate these principles directly into their practice and daily life. \nBy blending philosophy\, contemplative reflection\, and experiential meditation\, this retreat offers a living approach to the Bodhisattva’s way—transforming understanding into heartfelt action. Ideal for intermediate practitioners seeking to strengthen their foundation in compassion\, wisdom\, and mindful awareness\, this weekend provides both inspiration and practical tools to cultivate an awakened heart. Some background in Buddhism helpful. \n\nAmsterdam City Retreat Details\nWHEN: Friday June 26\nTIME: 7.00-8.30pm CET\nWHERE: Online Only \nWHEN: Saturday & Sunday\, June 27 & 28\nTIME: 10.00am – 4.00pm CET\nWHERE: Onsite & Online

SUMMARY:Authentic Illumination:Lama Tsong Khapa Guru Yoga asa Path to Deepening our Wisdom and Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Amsterdam City Retreat (Saturday & Sunday)\nCompassion isn’t something we simply aspire to — it’s a state we can actively cultivate through practice. This weekend retreat invites practitioners into a powerful exploration of Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga as a direct method for awakening compassion\, clarity\, and inner strength. \nOver the weekend\, we’ll unpack the meaning and purpose behind deity practice—why we visualize enlightened beings\, why mantra shapes the mind\, and how these methods open the heart. \nThrough guided meditation\, discussion\, and integrated exercises\, participants will learn how Guru Yoga becomes the unifying thread: a practice that connects us to wisdom\, dissolves obstacles\, and brings the vast qualities of enlightenment into our own experience. \nTogether\, we’ll build a clear and practical structure for practicing Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga\, understanding how it supports daily life and deepens our capacity to meet the world with kindness and clarity. \nPerfect for intermediate practitioners looking to strengthen their foundation and re-energize their path\, this retreat offers a grounded yet inspiring approach to transforming the mind from the inside out. \nWe hear about deity practice in the Buddhist system\, but what is the significance? How do visualizations and mantra recitation of the Buddha\, Tara\, Vajrasattva\, or other aspects of the enlightened mind support our lives\, and what is the role of guru yoga? This program will thoroughly explore these practices and give practitioners a clear structure and understanding of how to put it all together for the greatest benefit — both in cultivating compassion and deepening wisdom. Intermediate level. \n\n\nAmsterdam City Retreat Details\nWHEN: May 22\nTIME: 7.00 – 8.30pm CET\nWHERE: Online Only \nWHEN: May 23 & 24\nTIME: 10.00am – 4.00pm CET\nWHERE: Onsite & Online

SUMMARY:From Ground to Goal:A Meditative Journey Through the Lamrim
DESCRIPTION:Amsterdam City Retreat. (Saturday & Sunday)\n\nThe Buddhist path unfolds step by step—and the Lamrim\, the “Stages of the Path\,” offers a complete roadmap for awakening that is as relevant today as it was centuries ago. This weekend retreat brings these timeless teachings to life through accessible explanations\, guided meditation\, and practical application. \nTogether\, we’ll explore key stages of the Lamrim—from cultivating a meaningful motivation and understanding our precious human life\, to developing renunciation\, compassion\, and the wisdom that sees the nature of reality. Each session will weave teaching with experiential practice\, offering participants a direct encounter with the clarity\, purpose\, and inner freedom these steps are designed to awaken. \nRather than presenting Lamrim as a list of topics\, this retreat reveals it as a living path—a dynamic progression that transforms how we think\, act\, and relate to others. With grounded guidance and space for personal reflection\, practitioners will learn how to integrate these stages into meditation and daily life\, creating a stable foundation for ongoing spiritual growth. \nIdeal for students seeking a clear structure for their practice or wishing to reconnect with the heart of the Buddhist path\, this weekend offers a fresh\, engaging\, and transformative approach to the Lamrim. Open to all levels\, but some background in Buddhism helpful. \n\nAmsterdam City Retreat Details\nWHEN: Friday April 24\nTIME: 7.00-8.30pm CET\nWHERE: Online Only \nWHEN: Saturday & Sunday April 25 & 26\nTIME: 10.00am – 4.00pm CET\nWHERE: Onsite & Online

SUMMARY:City Retreat: Another World is Possible
DESCRIPTION:September 26 – 28\n\nAs we emerge from the global Covid experience\, the path may seem littered with confusion\, violence\, and alienation. Rather than grow dismayed by external experiences that show cruelty and heartlessness\, how can we use our vulnerability to effectively channel this energy into a more supportive practice? \nThis beautiful practice explores a path of inner transformation by being present with our pain\, fear\, and aversion. It incorporates Lam Rim meditation along with the sadhana and mantra recitation of Green Tara. By opening our hearts in kindness to ourselves\, the potential exists for our external reality to shift more beneficially as well. Open to all levels.

SUMMARY:City Retreat Weekend: Authentic Illumination
DESCRIPTION:Authentic Illumination – Mapping our Path to Enlightenment through Guru Yoga and Lam Rim Meditation\nOur path to enlightenment involves a clear methodical system of stages and practices to help us transform our current state of confusion and suffering to the ultimate goal of complete awakening. The Lam Rim (Stages of the Path) outlines these steps in a uniquely progressive way helping practitioners navigate their spiritual journey with clarity and purpose. However\, most students are not clear on how to approach Lam Rim meditation to actualize realizations. Isn’t it time to get started and understand how to do it most effectively? See more details on the center’s website. \nSome background in Buddhism helpful. Online and in-person.
