Intro to Buddhism

Wisdom and Compassion in our daily lives: Introduction to Buddhism on Tuesday nights 6:45pm-8:45pm. A new module starts Tuesday 28 May, 2019.

In Buddhism, Wisdom and Compassion are considered as being inseparable, and it is how we work with this view in our daily interactions that is the real power and proof point of the truth of the teachings of the Buddha. Through this course we will explore the ancient teachings of this unbroken lineage, experiencing their wisdom directly through the application of authentic methods that help us to develop confidence, capacity and compassion in the way we are – with ourselves, with others and with our environment.

This course will focus on Loving Kindness and Compassion. We will examine ways in which we can work with our heart and mind, starting from wherever we find ourselves now, to discover our own potential for genuine love and compassion. This ten week course is a continuation from the previous module on Wisdom but is also open to new students, including newcomers to Buddhism as well as those who already have some experience with meditation and wish to deepen their understanding and practice.

Authentic meditation techniques are taught and practiced throughout the course, developing our experience of peace and clarity of mind.

This course is for newcomers to Buddhism, as well as those who already have some experience with meditation and wish to deepen their understanding and practice.
