Becoming a Buddha: Four Myths of Meditation Course

A five week course starting on Wed 16 April

Buddhist Meditation is primarily concerned with seeing things as they really are. The suffering we experience and cause others is a result of not seeing clearly in this way.

Two-and-a-half millennia ago, the Buddha laid out a practical path to a new kind of consciousness. On Dharma Day, we will come together to celebrate the anniversary of the Buddha first communicating his Dharma (‘teachings’) to others after his Enlightenment, sparking off a lineage of teachers and disciples that has transformed many lives, and continues today with us. There will be meditation, talks and a special ritual in the evening. All are welcome.

Full Moon Puja

(after Dharma Night)

After Dharma Night, we’ll come together for a short ritual on the full moon.

The Fifty-One Mental Events: Transforming Every Aspect of the Mind

To transform the mind we need to know the mind. The fifty-one mental events provide a comprehensive map of the mind's every aspect: good, bad or indifferent.

We will be guided by Sangharakshita's Know Your Mind - our own teacher's exploration - and Mind in Harmony, the commentary upon it by Subhuti, the LBC's President.
