Through this 5 week online meditation course we become familiar with meditation and gradually discover a profound peace that is always with us, beneath the turbulence of all our thoughts and emotions.
Our complex world can tempt us to spend a lot of time in our heads. During this weekend retreat, the focus will be on meditation practice as a way to savour the uniqueness of each moment and rediscover the joy of simply being.
With the six paramitas we can overcome our destructive emotions, which manifest as an endless cycle of suffering and see the true nature of things. This retreat focuses on exploring the six paramitas in a way that is both accessible and personally relevant to each of us.
The Buddhist teachings show us that, at our core, there is an expansive source of well being often described as our ‘fundamental goodness’. Understanding the mind and its true nature is the way for us to discover and experience this goodness and the wisdom we inherently possess.
