The Taste of Freedom

Exploring what freedom means and how it comes about.
Six Sunday Evenings from 21st May  6.30pm – 8.45pm

Venue: Crossgates Community Centre, Curlew Drive, Crossgates, Scarborough, YO12 4TL

About the course: This is a practical course in freeing ourselves from what binds us. 
The point of being a Buddhist is to free ourselves from whatever keeps us trapped in a mundane and repetitive cycle. But how do we do that, and what does real freedom mean?

In this course we explore a pivotal point in the Buddhist path where we have our first taste of real freedom. Traditionally this is called ‘stream entry’ – we enter the stream that leads to the ocean of Enlightenment.

At this point we break three fetters that prevent us from entering the stream, or we could say, from reaching our full potential. We take a good look at these and see how they play out in our lives, both individually and collectively, and we explore ways in which we can loosen, and eventually break them.

Participants will receive the book A Taste of Freedom as part of the course.
Who’s the course for?
This course is suitable for everyone aged 18+ who is interested in the Buddhist path.  All welcome, you don't need to be a Buddhist to join the course.

Please do get in touch with us if you can’t afford the booking fee, we don’t want anyone missing out because of lack of funds.   
Dana: Please note that the booking fee doesn’t cover the full cost, but we prefer to keep it low so that it is accessible to as many people as possible.  During the course, any offerings of additional dana (generosity) would very much appreciated and help us meet our course running costs.  There will be a dana bowl on the table each week, and we also now have a card reader.
