Tuesday 8th July
The Door to the Deathless –
There is much focus on ‘Secular Buddhism’ these days; that is the
proximate benefits of meditation such as balance, health markers or a
cool Pali name. But the goal of Buddhism was always clear and intended :
attaining to the ‘Deathless’ that is enlightenment. We’ll look a little
closer at what this means, and where in our experience it lies.
Wednesday 9th July
Non-dual Wisdom and the teachings of the Buddha –
Following on from the previous evening’s theme we will look at some of
the other enlightenment teachings and how they relate to Buddhism. Most
especially we will look at the influential, silent teachings of one of
the modern era’s coolest inspirations – Ramana Maharshi.
