Untangle your Mind: A Going Deeper Course on Buddhist Conditionality

From West London Buddhist Centre on Fri, 18 Feb, 2022 - 16:43

Over the six weeks of the course we will delve into the ramifications of dependent origination in order to penetrate this teaching that is ‘profound, hard to understand, peaceful and sublime’. We will explore how it can point the way towards ending...

The Buddha and the Goddess of the Earth — an introduction to buddhism and meditation through the nature symbolism of the Buddha’s story

A four-week online course on Monday evenings, March 7-28, 6:30-8pm

Most of the stories about the Buddha take place in nature. His Awakening took place beneath a tree, he walked everywhere, and many of his discourses were given in forest groves, gardens and on hillsides.
