7th June : Responses to Affliction: LONDON

RETREAT DAY WITH SISTER MODGALA

Buddhist Psychology offers ways to cut through habitual responses.
This retreat will focus on the second and third Noble Truths. We
will look at how we react to afflictions and add onto our suffering
by building the "wall of self". If we can see how our thoughts and
ways create our worlds we can start to do things differently and
walk a path towards a better world. Together we will share and
explore the possibilities.

20th May - Transforming Anger: LONDON

RETREAT DAY WITH SISTER MODGALA

What are the roots of anger?
This retreat day will focus on looking deeply into our roots of
anger and irritation. We might be surprised at what we find there.

energy to face the world. Anger is energy, wasted energy that could
be harnessed. We can use this energy to build a Pure Land…….

Prasada & Dharmavidya to talk at St James' London

Dharmavidya David Brazier, and Prasada Caroline Brazier are to talk at St. James's Church, London on the topic of their most recent books, Who Loves Dies Well and The Other Buddhism.

The intuition of a measureless Other lies behind the spiritual experience of many of us. The practice of opening ourselves to the ever-present love of Amida is the profound message of Pureland, a form of Buddhism, until recently, relatively unfamiliar in the West.
