Helgkurs med Venerable Michael Yeshe
13-15 maj

Tyvärr får vi meddela att kursen med ven. Michael behöver ställas in. Vi försöker få den flyttad till höstterminen istället.

“Illness, suffering and death are part of
the reality of human existence.
It would be as foolish to pretend that we are not sick when we are,
or that we will never die, as it would be to deny
the possibility of ever getting well.”
~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Most of us live in denial of death. However, it is inevitable that we experience the loss of a loved one at some stage in our lives. It is also inevitable that we ourselves experience death some day. The Buddhist teachings offer practical guidelines on how to cultivate an awareness of impermanence & death, which helps to strengthen our spiritual practice. By accepting death as part of our natural existence, we can better deal with grief when we lose a dear one, likewise it can help prepare for ones own death. In this course, Ven. Michael will introduce some meditation  techniques on the awareness of death, the actual death process and rebirth as explained in the Buddhist texts.

Summer Retreat – Foundations of Buddhist practice
June 25 – July 2

Welcome to our summer retreat with Stephan Pende Wormland. It will take place at Trollsjönäs Lägergård, close to Gothenburg. Participating in this retreat is a powerful way to explore and deepen your meditation practice, recharge your batteries, and meet yourself.

Please see pictures from the facility here: https://trollsjonas.gotalejon.org/bilder/

There will also be a daily yoga session led by Helen Persson. You don’t need any experience with yoga. Everyone can participate. 

The schedule has plenty of breaks, which makes it possible for your own reflections, go for walks, and attend to your daily chores. There will be space for questions and discussions during the meditation sessions.

It is only possible to register for the whole retreat. 

The retreat is suitable for beginners who are interested in Buddhist meditation, but experienced students will benefit as well. The retreatplace has peaceful surroundings, woods and a lake with bridges. You will sleep in dormitories of 4 or 6 beds, or if you prefer your own tent there is plenty of room for nice spots. 🙂

ABOUT THE SERIES

We will cover and complete one volume at a time. So far 6 volumes have been published, with more awaiting. Stephan Pende will teach two weekends a year.

ABOUT THE SERIES OF BOOKS

https://wisdomexperience.org/library-wisdom-compassion/

“His Holiness the Dalai Lama https://www.dalailama.com/ has been publicly teaching Buddhism for decades. The Library of Wisdom and Compassion collects his presentations of every step of the path to enlightenment, compiled and coauthored by one of his chief Western disciples, the American nun Thubten Chodron https://thubtenchodron.org/

The Buddha wanted his students to investigate, to see for themselves whether what he said were true. As a student of the Buddha, the Dalai Lama promotes the same spirit of investigation, and as the rich tradition of the Buddha makes its way into new lands and cultures, His Holiness has recognized that new approaches are needed to allow seekers in the West to experience the relevance of the liberating message in their own lives. Such an approach cannot assume listeners are free from doubt and already have faith in Buddhism’s basic tenets. The Library of Wisdom and Compassion series, therefore, starts from the universal human wish for happiness and presents the dynamic nature of the mind. This first volume also provides a wealth of reflections on Buddhist history and fundamentals, contemporary issues, and the Dalai Lama’s own personal experiences. It stands alone as an introduction to Buddhism, but it also provides a foundation for the systematic illumination of the path in the volumes to come.”
