Meditations for healing ourselves & others
October 29 | 10:00am -4:00pm
This ancient meditative practice is the best way to transform all types of difficulty such as pain, illness, anxiety — into an opportunity to strengthen our inner peace, love and compassion.
Taking and giving is a beautiful and profound method to transform our personal problems and the sufferings in this world into the very means for experiencing love, joy, compassion and wisdom. This ancient practice brings mental peace and happiness, increasing our spiritual strength and capacity to overcome challenges while developing the supreme good heart of a Bodhisattva.
This weekend will explore practical ways to use the meditations on imagining taking on the suffering of others and giving love to others. We can apply this when we ourself are suffering, or when others we care about are suffering. We can apply this in formal meditation and in daily life.
This course is suitable for everyone regardless of experience.

He shows a humble, kind example as a practitioner and his clear explanations of Buddha’s teachings give us the confidence to practise them in our daily life.
