2 Slogan Talks

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 26 Jun, 2024 - 00:00
Sanghagita & Bodhinaga will be giving two short talks about two slogans. Sanghagita will be exploring the 'Drive all blames into one.' slogan....but what does 'the one' mean? Traditionally 'the one' is the ‘evil spirit of ego-clinging ‘ – how do we apply this as 21st Bodhisattvas? Bodhinaga will be exploring the 'Always have the support of a cheerful mind' slogan –The state of mind that we dwell in has a powerful effect on our experience. Bodhinaga will be explaining the benefits of maintaining a cheerful mind and how we go about developing one. How would we act in every ordinary moment if we were Enlightened? How can we act to be more Enlightened? In this series we will be exploring a powerful, pithy teaching that tells us how to do just that.
