About Event:
We all experience dukkha, or dissatisfaction and suffering, but why? In this weekend
course you will be introduced to simple techniques to unravel the dukkha we
experience and uncover the Basic Goodness we all possess.
This 2-day course will run from 9:00am – 4:30pm each day.
On Saturday we will see how to develop a simple practice that can cut through all of our mental patterns. We will take a close look at the technique itself, highlighting the common mistakes that we make when beginning to work with our mind. By clearly understanding the practice we will see how to effortlessly sidestep many of the difficulties we face in meditation.
On Sunday we will see how to refine and develop this practice to take us beyond our ordinary experience. This simple practice can lead us directly into the heart of the Buddha’s wisdom. In this way, we come to see how gaining an understanding of our Basic Goodness can take us far beyond what we may have thought possible.
Morning and afternoon tea will be provided. Please either book lunch in the Big Love Cafe, or bring your own lunch.
