In this Home Retreat with Nagapriya we will be exploring how meditating and practising the Dharma within this rich world of images and ideas can be personally transformative, bringing Amida to life with a deep wonder, gratitude, and openness.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll be practising around key themes from Nagapriya\u2019s book \u2018The Promise of a Sacred World.\u2019 In particular, we will evoke the idea of \u2018Other Power\u2019, as understood by the Japanese master Shinran, engaging with how this relates to self-directed effort on the Buddhist path \u2013 and how it connects with the Triratna Buddhist Community\u2019s vision of practice.<\/p>\n<p>The Pure Land is life itself understood as a field of perpetual going for refuge, in which awakening is \u2018given\u2019 not \u2018achieved\u2019. And Amida can be experienced as the sacred world breaking in on our awareness or irrupting within us. Using meditation, ritual, imagery, and reflection, we will immerse ourselves in this profound myth of liberation and the opportunities it opens up to us in any moment.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Home Retreat Live Session Times (click to see)&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; title_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; title_phone=&#8221;Home Retreat Live Session Times (tap to see)&#8221; title_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; open_toggle_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_toggle_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_toggle_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; icon_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; icon_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; icon_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; open_icon_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_icon_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_icon_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;See the Retreat Session Times&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; title_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; title_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;1.7em&#8221; closed_title_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; closed_title_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_link_font=&#8221;|||||||#0c3179|&#8221; body_link_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1170px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; title_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; title_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; title_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; title_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; title_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; title_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; closed_title_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; closed_title_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; closed_title_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; body_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; body_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; body_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; body_link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; body_link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; body_link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; border_color_all_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; border_color_all_phone=&#8221;&#8221; border_color_all_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22body_link_text_color%22,%22body_link_text_color_tablet%22,%22body_link_text_color_phone%22,%22icon_color_phone%22,%22icon_color_tablet%22,%22icon_color%22,%22open_toggle_text_color%22,%22open_toggle_text_color_tablet%22,%22open_toggle_text_color_phone%22,%22title_text_color%22,%22title_text_color_tablet%22,%22title_text_color_phone%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color_tablet%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color_phone%22,%22border_color_all%22%93}&#8221;]<strong>First daily session (2 hrs):\u00a0<\/strong>USA PST 01:30 | M\u00e9xico 03:30 | USA EST 04:30 |\u00a0IE &amp; UK 09:30 | Europe CET 10:30 | India 14:00 | Australia AEST 18:30 | New Zealand NZST 20:30<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second daily session (1.5 hrs, with optional breakout rooms):<\/strong> USA PST 07:30 | M\u00e9xico 09:30 | USA EST 10:30 | IE &amp; UK 15:30 | Europe CET 16:30 | India 20:00 | Australia AEST 00:30 (next day) | New Zealand NZST 02:30 (next day)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Third daily session (60-75 mins):<\/strong> USA PST 11:00 | M\u00e9xico 13:00 | USA EST 14:00 | IE &amp; UK 19:00 | Europe CET 20:00 | India 23:30 | Australia AEST 04:00 (next day) | New Zealand NZST 06:00 (next day)<\/p>\n<p><em>N.B.

What would it be like to experience yourself without restrictive concepts? What dimensions might open up in your life as you engage with myths and symbols? Awareness, or mindfulness, is an essential foundation for all spiritual growth. And through knowing experience directly we can transform difficulties and become happier, calmer and more fulfilled. But awareness offers much more: it also provides a doorway to other dimensions in the large chamber of our being. Awareness of the body, heart and mind can blossom into awareness of boundlessness, love and mystery, as Buddhist teachers have taught down the millennia.<\/p>\n<p>Imagination is a key to this opening. When our minds are clear and we\u2019re alive to what\u2019s within us and around us, our imaginations wake up to new possibilities.

Moreover, instead of a means to make ourselves worthy, practice becomes a gift, an expression of solidarity and affirmation. Our meditation, our devotion, our friendship, our study, become affirmations and revelations of our intimate connection with Amida\u2019s compassionate mind, with the nature of awakening, and so reveal themselves as disclosures of our true nature before others. Our practice becomes sacramental, an exuberant offering to the world around us. It becomes an upwelling of gratitude, the incarnation of Amida\u2019s vow within our daily lives.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text quote_border_color=&#8221;#E02B20&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Reference&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700||||||#0c3179|&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#E02B20&#8243; link_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#E02B20&#8243; header_4_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_4_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; max_width=&#8221;720px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_4_line_height_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_4_line_height_phone=&#8221;&#8221; header_4_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color_phone%22,%22link_text_color_tablet%22%93}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Taken from the book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windhorsepublications.com\/product\/the-promise-of-a-sacred-world-paperback?coupon-code=BCO-TPOASW20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;The Promise of a Sacred World: Shinran\u2019s Teaching of Other Power&#8221;.

Tejananda will be bringing insights from decades of practice to his upcoming Home Retreat on The Buddhist Centre Live.<\/p>\n<p>The retreat is part of a trilogy (so far!) exploring the Buddhist concept and experience of \u2018emptiness\u2019 (<em>shunyata &#8211;<\/em>\u00a0pointing to the lack of an \u201cobjectively\u201d fixed essence or selfhood in\u00a0<em>anything)<\/em>. This time around we are approaching the great field of contemplation and reflection from the meditative perspective of the &#8216;divine abodes&#8217; (<em>brahma viharas<\/em>)\u2014unconditional love, compassion, joy, and equanimity\u2013all seen as pathways to liberating the mind. By cultivating these beautiful qualities, Tejananda says, we can find a larger context for our afflictive emotions\u2014craving, hatred, and ignorance\u2014and in the process gradually find unveiled the uncultivated, unlimited, and unconditional nature of them as ways to engage with ourselves, with other beings and with reality itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tejananda is interested in a non-abstract, earthed, experiential relationship to \u2018emptiness&#8217;, and in the transformative power of compassion for our consciousness. The ensuing conversation opens a seam of truly rich material: from constructed realities (yes, we talk about the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest) to how we can work with difficult emotions, to the relief of resting in a developing experience that we are fundamentally okay. Even as we are all subject to impermanence in the luminous emptiness of this reality, \u201cLet there be unconditional love\u201d is Tejananda\u2019s quietly encouraging rallying call.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is a fascinating glimpse into the work waiting for us when we close our eyes in meditation, experience more fully sensed and in potentially higher resolution than any fancy-pants headset can render!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221;

We end with the Nembutsu verses and the Amitabha mantra.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1001263200?share=copy&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#E02B20&#8243; link_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_tablet%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Nagapriya and Ratnaguna discuss the relationship between the teachings of Shinran\/Pure Land Buddhism and and the Triratna system of practice.
