In-Depth Meditation Training with Ven. Losang Gendun

Where & when: at our center and online, every Saturday meditation & teaching

Content: In this second term, we will emphasize the lived experience of meditation, both on and off the cushion. We will explore how concepts can blind and alienate us by adding an imaginary layer to our interdependent world. Using spiritual developmental models we will learn how to live more freely in daily life. We will also explore the role of narratives, the philosophy of language, and how to cultivate great compassion for all living beings to help heal our conflicted world.

From February onwards, we’ll focus mainly on exploring the 37 Aids to Enlightenment and some of the Jataka Tales, the impressive stories of the Buddha's past lives. These are inspiring, extraordinary stories that give us a personal view on and understanding of the bodhisattva and the various ways of interconnecting with his companions on the Path throughout lifetimes, thus storytelling our way towards Awakening.
