During this 4-week course, we will explore the 'Eight Worldly Concerns', said to be the driving attachments and aversions that we cycle through endlessly in our pursuit of happiness and avoidance of pain. There are four hopes and four corresponding fears, and preoccupation with these 'worldly winds' is said to be an obstacle to experiencing genuine, lasting wellbeing and happiness. Exploring them together will offer insights into overcoming these obstacles to happiness. We will learn how to cultivate a balanced mind that can remain undisturbed by challenge and change, leading to a profound sense of peace and contentment. Week 1: Gain and Loss
Week 2: Fame and Insignificance
Week 3: Praise and Blame
Week 4: Pleasure and Pain These classes consist of guided meditations, talks and discussions covering a different aspect of Buddhist meditation each week. Classes are suitable for everyone, seating is on chairs (or bring your own cushion/yoga mat), and no special clothing is needed – just come as you are. *Please pre-book*
