Day course with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab at Manjushri Centre
|
Day courses in Brecon and Cardiff
|
Our Deputy Spiritual Director, Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab, is teaching a day course at Manjushri centre in Cumbria, called "The Bodhisattva Warrior- Delighting in virtue".
Living beings have only one enemy – the army of their delusions of ignorance, self-cherishing, anger, attachment, pride, jealousy and so forth. Overcoming this inner enemy solely in order to be of benefit to others is the joyful task of sincere Kadampa practitioners. Employing the power of effort and an array of special wisdom weapons these peaceful warriors delight in the destruction of all inner obstacles.
|
We are holding two meditation day courses in Brecon and Cardiff during June:
Saturday 7th June in Brecon: "A peaceful life"
Saturday 14th June in Cardiff: "A blissful life"
|
