Workshop Mindfulness Intensive
Mindfulness meditation or Calm Abiding practice has been at the heart
of Buddhist practice for over 2,500 years, and only recently has it been
shown scientifically to be a powerful practice for enhancing emotional
health and well-being. Mindfulness is now used in the management of stress,
in palliative care, in mental health treatment, and in the scientific
study of consciousness. Thupten Lekshe will lead this day of practice
experiencing what mindfulness is, how it works, and how we can bring this
ancient spiritual discipline into our everyday life.
Sunday
Workshop Tools of Transformation-
The use of ritual and symbol in Buddhist practice Over more than a thousand
years Tibetan Buddhism has refined and mastered the technology of transforming
everyday reality into higher states of awareness through the use of Tantra,
or Vajrayana, practice. In these practices visualisations, hand gestures,
and chanting are used as a swift method to awaken and maintain deep states
of wisdom and compassion. In this one day workshop, Thupten Lekshe will
explain the profound meaning of common symbols and rituals, and show how
this special kind of Buddhist practice can enliven and enrich ones spiritual
and personal life.
Cost for
each workshop is $50 or $40 members/conc, there is a discount if you book
for both, $90 or $70 members/conc Includes lunch and refreshments, bookings
essential.
