The Dhammapada is one of the most beloved collections of the Buddha’s teachings: brief, vivid verses that have guided practitioners for over two millennia. Each verse is like a small jewel, simple in form, but potent beacons on the path. Over this series, different speakers will explore a verse or two , unpacking its meaning, its relevance for modern life, and the ways it can inspire real transformation.
Join Singhamati for an exploration of the deepest reach of the metta bhavana – insight practice. Through talks, led meditation and discussions we will explore and reflect on the Buddhas teaching on loving kindness, awakening our hearts on the path.
What questions does the Tibetan Book of the Dead pose about life, about practice and how can we make sense of these? What can we do with our hearts and minds at crucial times of transformation?
An image can speak to us more deeply than an idea or concept. The Buddha gained awakening under a tree by a river, he was embedded in the natural world. Trees have their own significance; a vast living thing with roots into the depths and reaching up to the sky. In this series we'll be evoking the stream of energy flowing through the Buddha towards us and the vast imaginal space beyond him.
