Session One
Sunday 7 February 2021
CAN WE KNOW THE END OF THE WORLD?
A 90 minute online meeting
We find ourselves concerned with the state of the world yet we do not live in one world.
Our inner world reveals significant differences of the outer world.
The outer world offers a variety of impressions to people.
it is not unusual to claim we live in different worlds.
The one world view seems to be another ideology.
Claims of what is true, half true and false abound.
Can awareness, mindfulness and meditation reveal the end of the world?
This question lies at the heart of the Buddha-Dharma.
Session includes a guided meditation, Dharma talk and Q and A.
Session Two

The Dharma flies with two wings – compassion and wisdom. This talk will address suffering due to our social/political system, show that compassion involves action not feelings and concern about contraction of compassion into self- interest (self-compassion).
Session includes a guided meditation, talk and Q and A.

Fine speeches.
