Stay calm, grounded and connected during this often frenetic and sometimes challenging time. Join Bodhilila  for our Festive Meditations.

Doorways to Dhyana

By LDNBuddhist on Thu, 18 May, 2023 - 15:44

Join Jnanavaca online or in person at the LBC on this four week exploration and learn how to deepen your meditation practice and open doorways to Dhyana. 

Jnanavaca will be exploring ways of accessing the dhyanas - higher states of consciousness available through meditative absorption.

States of dhyana, as well as being extremely pleasurable and fulfilling in their own right, contribute to a sense of fulfilment and well-being in our lives.

New Year's Retreat (online) 28 Dec-1 Jan

This Being, That Becomes

This being, that becomes
From the arising of this, that arises.
This not being, that does not become
From the cessation of this, that ceases…
Nidanasamyutta

Reflect on the end of one year and open to the new. These words from the Buddha provide us with a potent and pithy statement of this transition – and of a central Buddhist truth of dependent arising.

Spend this valuable time of ceasing and arising on retreat with Bodhilila and the...

What?

World on Fire - Building Resilience in Tough Times

I am preparing this blurb in early September. Summer is lingering and the days are still long. But as I reflect on our day together in late Oct I am only too aware that we will be well into the autumn and inevitably feeling the pinch of the energy and cost of living crises.

How can we use the Dharma to help us be resilient in the face of unstable times like these? How can we harness the...

BREAK OUT : Beginners meditation and Buddhism course.

By Sthiramitra on Thu, 17 Mar, 2022 - 15:26

Frome sangha are delighted to invite you to our first face to face course on Buddhism and meditation for two years.

Your mind has vast potential for freedom and happiness. Buddhism calls this Awakening. And it offers a path of training to achieve it.

But this potential can feel far from our everyday experience. Our minds are often troubled by restlessness, anger and confusion.

This has always been the human condition. For 2,500 years Buddhism has offered a path to help people just like you to...
