SUMMARY:The Awakening Heart and the Divine Abodes - Vajraloka
DESCRIPTION:Co-led with Rijumitra \n \nBodhicitta – the awakening heart – is both the heart–response of wisdom to the suffering of living beings everywhere and the urge to realise full awakening for the benefit of all. This retreat will focus on love\, compassion\, joy and equanimity – the four ‘divine abodes’ or brahmaviharas – in the context of cultivating bodhicitta. \nTo support this\, we’ll also introduce tonglen\, the ‘sending and receiving’ practice which opens the heart to universal compassion. \nThe divine abodes are also known as the ‘boundless states’\,¬ because they are inclusive of all living beings without exception. The practices that we’ll explore together on this retreat are all ways of opening our hearts and responding to the joys and sufferings of living beings – opening to the inseparable wisdom and compassion of the awakening heart itself. \nThis retreat is suitable for people who have been meditating for at least 3 years

SUMMARY:The Awakening Body - Online weekend co-led with Balajit
DESCRIPTION:The Awakening Body – Online Retreat! \nAn online weekend of embodied meditation and inquiry with Tejananda and Balajit \nOur mind – all our conceptual faculties – is not what\, or who\, we truly are. It cannot awaken. \nIt is our sensate body and the other ‘body senses’ that are our gateways to awakening. \nOn this weekend we’ll start by clarifying the distinction between mind and body. This will lead us into an exploration of embodiment – literally\, coming to our senses. Embodiment can take us deep into the experiential truths about our nature to which Buddhist teachings are pointing. \nWe can also discover subtler dimensions of embodiment in our experience\, including the energy body and even the mentally unfabricated dharma body. \nOur body is potentially a source of wisdom. At the same time\, we have a ‘pain body’. This holds all the tensions\, contractions and emotional avoidance patterns that have built up. These patterns\, and the suffering associated with them\, can gradually release through turning towards them. We will be exploring how to deepen into this vital transforming work. \nJoin us from 4pm on Friday the 22nd November to 5.30pm on Sunday 24th. \nPlease note this retreat is only open to people who have been practising within the context of the Triratna Community for at least three years. \nAfter you have reserved a space you will be sent a confirmation email. Closer to the event\, you will be sent an email with a Zoom link\, where the event will be hosted. \nDana \nThis retreat is offered on a dana (donation) basis. Donations can be made either before\, during or after the event. A link for dana will be sent closer to the start of the event. The dana is to support the retreat leaders in meeting their living costs and being able to organise and run these events. \nNo one is turned away for lack of funds. \nSession Timings \nThe session timings (UK) will be: \nFriday \n16.00 – 17.30 \n19.30 – 21.00 \nSaturday \n9.30 – 12.00 \n16.00 – 17.30 \n19.30 – 21.00 \nSunday \n9.30 – 12.00 \n16.00 – 17.30 \nClick on ‘website’ below for booking details \n

SUMMARY:Form is empty - is it? - Online retreat
DESCRIPTION:Online weekend retreat with The Buddhist Centre (Live)\n\nEarlier this year we explored how the Buddha’s teaching in the Shorter Suññata Sutta establishes emptiness in a very direct and experiential way\, by noticing absence. Experience is empty of whatever isn’t right here in experience now. This seems obvious\, but we delude ourselves into thinking that although something isn’t ‘here’\, it’s still ‘there’ in some way\, even when we don’t experience it.\n\nSay you’ve been somewhere away from home (even just out shopping) – where is that place in experience now? Quite simply\, it’s nowhere\, other than in our imagination. This is not suggesting that the place ‘doesn’t exist’\, it’s about directly knowing the distinction between what is experienced and what is imagined or mentally constructed. Once we gain clarity around this\, the liberating path of insight (prajñā) can unfold.\n\nWe’ll use the Buddha’s method to explore areas of our experience of bodily form\, space and consciousness – gaining clarity about what is actual experience\, what is imagined or constructed and what the emptiness teachings are actually pointing to.\n\n\nClick here for the booking details
