Images of Mindfulness: A review of “Mindfulness; 25 ways to live in the moment through art,” by Christophe Andre

From Shabda Articles on Thu, 15 Oct, 2015 - 23:12

I was wary or buying this book at first, as books that are full of large colourful illustrations can often be lacking in conceptual content. I was persuaded to reconsider though by the recommendation on the cover by Mark Williams; “The book you hold in your hands is a masterpiece,” with Jon Kabat-Zinn adding “A work of art in its own right.” After a quick browse, I was too compelled to leave the shop without it.

Dayapakshini - The First Precept

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Sun, 11 Oct, 2015 - 01:00
This is the second in a series of talks exploring the Precepts. Dayapakshini explores the relevance of the First Precept to our lives with extracts from the Abhisanda sutta, poetry, and a contribution from Inge, another Sangha Member, about an event that happened on the way to the centre. Dayapakshini also asks us to consider the effects on ourselves and others of unkind and kind actions and there is a general Sangha discussion. This talk was given at the Croydon Buddhist Centre in September 2015 as part of the regular Sangha Morning Class.
