About this event
How to break free from the cycle of suffering.
“Even if we contemplate deeply the most sublime works of art we cannot gain benefits that compare with the benefits of contemplating and meditating on the diagram of the Wheel of Life because this diagram reveals the complete path to enlightenment” – Joyful Path of Good Fortune
During the first part of the event we will enjoy a special movie ‘The Wheel of Life’ which tells the story of the life of King Bimbisara a friend and contemporary of Buddha Shakyamuni and which presents the entire path to liberation in a way that is alive and immediate to our experience.
(Ideal for visual learners and those who enjoy imagery as a source of inspiration and learning.)
Gen Sherab will then give us a clear illustration of the Wheel Of life, helping us to examine this image and explore how we can use it to guide us in our meditation practice and inspire us in our spiritual life. We will learn why we experience the sufferings and problems we do and how we can permanently break free from these.
This event will present a movie, special teachings and guided meditations that help us to gain practical insights we can then take into our everyday life.
Everybody welcome.
