A Simple Training in Emptiness
a half day meditation course
Saturday 5 November
10 – 1pm
In person only
with Gen Kelsang Kunden
Spend a meaningful Saturday morning contemplating on the profound and extremely beautiful and liberating topic – emptiness. For us, things seem to exist outside our mind, but when we search for these independent, self-existing things with wisdom, we cannot find them. Because these do not exist.
Contemplating deeply on the teachings on emptiness – the way things actually exist rather than the way they appear to exist – we absorb our mind into the true nature of things and as a result we being to let of of the base of our internal tension, grasping and suffering.
We are fortunate to have a morning to deepen our faith and experience of these profound teachings together. Join us for this special opportunity.
This half day course is suitable for beginners and for for advanced meditators who need to refresh their practice. Everyone is welcome.
$25. Includes refreshments. Free for members.
