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

23 May 2021

IS THE BUDDHIST TRADITION GIVING UP ON COMPASSION?
A 90 minute online meeting.
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.

The wind in the trees….listen…a Sacred Homecoming. Life….this moment…siting zazen…there is stillness. Like a Mudra….infinitely peaceful…unshaken…life is Silence. Breathing the moment… Does the question make sense? It is a silent mind… it is moonshine…other than this there is nothing you need to know. Awake! At the heart of life itself.

Between 2015 and 2020 I (author) asked more than a thousand renowned and spiritual people from around the world one question: what is the meaning of life? This book is an anthology of eighty-one poised and peaceful answers on the Meaning of Life, written by renowned Buddhists.
