The Inconceivable Emancipation - Themes from the Vimalakirti Nirdesha
Wednesday 19th April for 8 weeks
For eight Sangha Nights we will be exploring the magnificent 'Vimalakirti Nirdesa' which is a very unusual and a very entertaining Mahayana text, believed to be nearly 2000 years old - yet it remains fresh and humorous to our contemporary minds. It is also full of Wisdom. Vimalakirti is a layman who feigns illness so that many people, from the king to the commoners, would come to see him learn the Dharma and realize enlightenment.

Live Life with Full Attention
An eight week foundation course in mindfulness
An introduction for newcomers, a refresher for regulars
We often feel like we’re not living life to the full. It’s as if instead of directly experiencing life we’re lost in a cacophony of thought, anxiety and confusion. Increasingly people are turning to mindfulness for help with this. But the Buddha’s mindfulness teachings are far more than a way of coping with the stress of the modern world. They are a direct way of seeing deeply into the truth of life and living from that in a way that is much wiser, compassionate and helpful.
Wednesdays 7pm to 9.15pm
Each week there will be a meditation, a talk and an opportunity to discuss the theme in small groups. Suitable for newcomers and regulars.
