This course will explain how we can learn to make ourself happy all the time through contemplating the famous Buddhist image, the Wheel of Life.
This contemplation will introduce all of Buddha’s teachings, because all of the teachings are included in this special image. Below the wheel is a verse written by Buddha:
Make effort to destroy the cycle of suffering
Follow the path to liberation
Abandon all delusions
And learn to cherish others
By contemplating the meaning of verse, in conjunction with the symbolism of the Wheel of Life, we will learn:
How our human life developed in dependence upon craving and grasping
How our unhappiness depends on the mind of ignorance, and how, by abandoning this ignorance, we can remain peaceful even amidst the most challenging circumstances
How to escape the suffering, known as samsara, and attain the everlasting happiness of nirvana
Suitable for complete beginners or experienced practitioners alike – please come along!
Everyone welcome
This course is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with more experience of meditation.
