Essential practices and studies for a lay practitioner today:
What brings one to enlightenment (or What brings one to freedom of the mind?”)
An evening class in Takapuna with
Lama Mark Webber
Monday 16th May 2016 @ 7.30pm
Lama Mark Webber will give a class on:
From a Buddhist standpoint, what are the reasons for cultivating an easeful, aware and compassionate body, speech and mind? What are the essential practices and studies? What does meditation and practice mean? The steps and stages of the View, Conduct and Meditation. The most essential points of understanding the study and practice of the Buddhist teachings.
The Buddhist meditative-yogic tradition is rich in experience, understandings and methods. However, the purpose and aims are exceedingly straightforward for people to understand, as the basic issues of anxiety, un-ease, mental afflictions, illness and bewilderment have not changed in two millennia. Only the complexities of our modern world have altered and this tends to obscure and over-complicate what needs to be done.
Venue: 5 Williams Street, Takapuna, Auckland, NZ
