Darlington - Tuesday
Classes every week from April 2nd
|
Beginning 2nd April we will be looking at how to live a very meaningful and compassionate life by following the practice of the Bodhisattva path. These include giving, moral discipline, patience, virtuous effort, concentration and wisdom. As well as making our life meaningful, these practices will support our meditation practice and bring great benefit to others. A Bodhisattva is a friend of the world who motivated by compassion, seeks enlightenment or full awakening to benefit all living beings.
