Consciousness Unflods - Week Two

From London Buddhist Centre on Thu, 14 May, 2015 - 00:00
Meditation is a way of using the mind to work directly on the mind; but what is mind? By developing awareness of the nature of consciousness we can start to see clearly how mind creates the world and understand the forces in the mind that shape all sentient life and behaviour. In this practical meditation course you will learn how to use meditation as a means of transformation - both inner and outer. Led by Jnanavaca

Diedrik de Mulder writes….
On the 16th of April 2015, 25 young people arrived in Metta Mihara for a 3 days Young Buddhist retreat about “Spiritual Friendship”.
