‘You Too Should Let That Strength Release You’
Day retreat for all women*
with Maitrisiddhi from Taraloka Retreat Centre
Faith or shraddha is our responsiveness to value. It’s ‘what is ultimate in us resonating with what is ultimate in the universe’ (Sangharakshita). It’s disruptive. It calls us to grow. It calls us to live a life that is in alignment with our deepest values. But what is this quality of ‘faith’ – and does it mean we can’t question or explore? Let’s look at what shraddha really is, as well as our reservations about it. We’ll unpack the area using Pali texts from ‘The Way to the Beyond’ chapter of the Sutta Nipata – passionate, vivid descriptions of the impact the Buddha had on people around him.
With input, meditation, discussion and puja
Day retreat suitable for anyone who has done an introductory course with a Triratna Buddhist Centre
