Weekly drop-in class with meditations and a talk.
Everyone Welcome.
Do you feel an overwhelming sense of loneliness at times, and is it the case that even around others you feel isolated?
In Buddha’s teachings we find a clear explanation of our painful states of mind, called ‘delusions’. Through hearing Buddha’s teachings, we can begin to identify these delusions in our mins and we see how loneliness is experienced as a result of the negative view we hold. We can then develop beneficial views that opposes this, and by so doing, we discover a deeper connection with others so that loneliness can dissolve away.
By coming along to this class, you can begin to let go of loneliness.
“When we deeply think that others are important, and that their happiness and freedom are important, we are cherishing others. If we cherish others like this, we will always have good relationships and live in harmony with others, and our daily life will be peaceful and happy.” from Modern Buddhism by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
In this dealing with loneliness class we will look at sections from Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s book ‘How to Transform Your Life‘ and ‘Modern Buddhism‘ and also the short praise we engage in at our classes, The Liberating Prayer.
