Polishing your Inner Jewel - An Online Course on the Six Perfections

From West London Buddhist Centre on Tue, 16 Aug, 2022 - 06:46

There are so many ways we can grow and change. Uncovering and polishing the six qualities of generosity, ethics, patience, energy, meditation and wisdom that we all have in us (a little or a lot) is one way of transforming. Whether we are just dusting them off or discovering them anew, investigating these ‘perfections’ will offer us more self-awareness, confidence and hints of freedom for our journey of life.

Through discussion, meditation, exploration and reflection, Bodhilila and Maitripushpa invite you to join...

Online Meditation Retreat - Poetics of Awakening

From West London Buddhist Centre on Mon, 8 Aug, 2022 - 21:46

The Buddha was known as the awakened one, but what does it mean to really wake up? Buddhism is clear that this awakening is more than just intellectual knowledge. More importantly it is an opening of the heart and imagination to our own deepest nature and our place in the world. During this online retreat we will be looking at how we might deepen into ourselves and open to the world through our practice of meditation and ritual.
