This week Paranita will launch the new theme looking at the Wheel of Life as a mirror for our own mind! Come along to hear about the beings that drive our wheel, the many realms of our own experience, and practices that slow down the wheel to prepare for our Great Escape. During this theme we'll be looking at The Wheel of Life, a living symbol that encompasses the entirety of existence. We'll learn how to escape from the prison and sufferings of Samsara, towards ever increasing positive and expansive states of being, towards the ultimate goal of Awakening. We'll be taking a contemporary look at this ancient symbol, visiting it's realms and their beings from the depths of the hell realm to the heights of the heavenly abodes, and asking what do these realms look like in our modern society and world? Expect support for home practice, practical ideas of how to bring these traditional teachings into your everyday life, and reflections on how to make your Great Escape!

Lightly led by Maitrisambhava. Sometimes suffering speaks more loudly than joy. Let joy be just as vivid as suffering!

Not knowing who you are, not knowing what metta is - but knowing what Padmasambhava says! From the 'Living in the Mandala: Brahma Viharas' retreat at Taraloka.

'I really trust metta' - even in dark times. So down to earth, but also glimmers of a mysterious intangible 'something else'. From the 'Living in the Mandala: Brahma Viharas' retreat at Taraloka.
