For booking please click hereLamrim means the stages of the path to enlightenment. It is a series of meditations that includes all the essential teachings of Buddha, structured in a comprehensive way that is easy to understand and put into practice. The instructions can readily be applied to solving the problems of daily life. If we gain deep experience of Lamrim there will be no basis for these problems; we shall be able to solve them through the power of our inner peace. First we must understand the benefits that Lamrim offers, and develop a strong desire to practice it. Then by joyfully and patiently doing these meditations we shall gradually experience the fruits of Lamrim practice.
Lamrim meditation is usually practiced as a daily meditation practice. On the Friday afternoon online meditation course, every week we focus on one of the Lamrim meditations following the presentation in the book How to Understand the Mind. If you wish you can then take that meditation as your practice for the rest of the week. It is possible to drop in at any moment, as the lamrim meditations are practised in a recurring cycle, or attend just one class and learn one particular meditation.
- Understanding Your Own Mind47 Trill Rd, Cape Town
There is nothing more important than our mind. It shapes our experiences and perceptions, and it is the source of all our suffering and happiness, including the pure and lasting happiness of enlightenment. Because of this it is said that the mind is the creator of all.
Throughout this course we will explore how our thoughts and feelings influence our daily life and relationships with others. We will learn to observe our mind without judgment in order to recognize unhelpful patterns and cultivate a more peaceful state of being.
We will understand that meditation is not just about quieting the mind; it's about understanding its complexities and harnessing its power for personal growth and benefiting others.
