Mind Lab Workshop Part 4 - Life at Jethavanarama Monastery (Ven. Amadassana Thero)

Описание: In this special Mind Lab workshop you will hear from international speakers, participate in discussion and guided meditation, to explore a unique, practical approach to bring Buddhism into our lives. Life is full of surprises, some good and some could be better. Unpleasant surprises can sometimes be an anchor which pulls you down in the ocean of life rather than letting you sail gracefully on it. How do we break free from these anchors? How do we use Buddhist principles to seek solutions for these pressing life issues? A powerful approach to solve these problems is to understand the workings of the mind and by applying the teachings of the Buddha into day-to-day situations which cause us distress. This workshop will introduce a perspective to examine illusions of the mind and how to see through them. A guided Vipassana meditation session will help you dive deep into your mental processes and identify the root cause for your problems. Through numerous practical examples you will learn the most simplistic way of applying the Buddhist principles in your everyday life. The programme also includes a Q&A session which will provide you with the opportunity to listen to firsthand accounts of our female and male Angarika communities who reside at the forest monastery practicing the Dhamma regularly. A special session will be conducted by Ven. Battaramulle Amadassana Thero, who will share what it is like to be a monk and also how the entire monastic community have dedicated their life towards spreading compassion to all beings.
