As we move into the autumn months, this weekend will focus on the question of how we can truly embody compassion—within ourselves, for one another, and as a community.
Led by Ian Ives, Senior Rigpa Teacher, we will explore through the wisdom of the Buddhist teachings and complementary practice sessions how compassion which starts with ourselves, becomes a source of genuine openness and connection. We will consider what it means to open our hearts—even in the face of difficulties—and how we can keep the vast, unlimited intention of bodhichitta (the heart of enlightened mind) alive in our daily lives.
This weekend offers space for contemplation, personal reflection and shared insight and is open to everyone, whether absolute beginners or those with more experience of buddhist study and practice.
Everyone is welcome, whether completely new to Buddhism or more experienced in Buddhist study and practice.
