In Person @ Buddha Land Centre & Livestream

Thurs 2  – Fri 3 June
(available for 2 weeks on catch up)

Explore Shantideva’s Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, a time honoured and much loved text elucidating paths to enlightenment.

Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life is a famous and universally loved poem for daily living that has inspired many generations of Buddhists and non-Buddhists. It reveals with poetic beauty and deep spiritual insight how to enter, make progress on, and complete the Buddhist path to enlightenment.

Reading these verses slowly, while contemplating their meaning, has a profoundly liberating effect on the mind. The poem invokes special positive states of mind, moves us from suffering and conflict to happiness and peace.

In this course, with Gen Kelsang Paljin, we will take time to listen to, contemplate and meditate on his advice so that we too can draw upon it in our daily lives to help reduce our unpeaceful minds and apply practical solutions to our human problems.

This course is suitable for those new to Buddhist meditation and for those wishing to deepen their experience and understanding.

The course costs £18 per day (£5 for Members); or come to the whole course for a total price of £30 (£10 for Monthly Members, £5 for FP Centre Members).

Teacher

The sessions will be guided by Gen Kelsang Paljin, Resident Teacher of Buddha Land and Burnley Kadampa Buddhist Centre who is appreciated for offering clear guidance on meditation and living a a positive life.
