A six week course on a buddhist way through the ups and downs of everyday life
We are all pulled around in different directions by the forces of life – seeking praise, fame, pleasure and gain while sheltering ourselves from blame, disgrace, pain and loss.
With all this going on it’s hard to keep our heads above water, easy to lose confidence and difficult to keep a clear sense of direction for our life.
The Buddha offers clear guidance on how to rise above these eight ‘worldly winds’. We need to learn to face them uncompromisingly and respond with creativity. Only then will we no longer fell blown about by the ups and downs – big and small – of everyday life.
Using Vajragupta’s short book as a guide, Amalavajra and Maitripushpa will examine over six weeks the myriad ways the worldly winds impact our lives and what we can do to learn to sail through them.
Participants will receive the book Sailing the Worldly Winds as part of the course.
