The Three Jewels
Mind as the Buddha

Body as the Sangha
Patrul Rinpoche
During the weeks ahead we will look at the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. We take refuge in these three Jewels, in order to see a clear path towards leading our lives in a way that is beneficial to both ourselves, and others.
I look forward to taking this journey with friends.

15 April to 13 May
Meditation with Alistair Blair
Tuesdays @ 7pm
“A man that looks on glass, On it may stay his eye; Or if he pleaseth, through it pass, And then the heav'n espy.” George Herbert
Over five weeks, we’ll explore the essential conditions for establishing a stable Shamatha practice and how it shapes the way we look at our lives. We’ll examine posture, the placement of the mind on an object, and our understanding of consciousness. Building on a foundation of stability, we’ll also look at the five hindrances to meditation and the antidotes for the challenges we face.
All are welcome to join.
Cost: Members: no cost; non-members R60 per evening

Sunday End of the Month Retreat
9am - 1pm
Led by Barry Stott
Next date: Sunday 27 April
A wonderful opportunity to come together and meditate as a sangha. These morning retreats take place on the last Sunday of the month whenever possible – an opportunity for meditators to deepen their meditation practice.
Practitioners of all levels are welcome and the morning alternates between easy going 30-minute meditation sessions, walking meditation and a tea break. We often finish with a short, guided compassion practice.
Noble silence is observed throughout the morning but discussion on aspects of meditation or your observations are welcomed.
Cost: Non-members R60, Members no cost.
