Doorways to Dhyana

By LDNBuddhist on Thu, 18 May, 2023 - 15:44

Join Jnanavaca online or in person at the LBC on this four week exploration and learn how to deepen your meditation practice and open doorways to Dhyana. 

Jnanavaca will be exploring ways of accessing the dhyanas - higher states of consciousness available through meditative absorption.

States of dhyana, as well as being extremely pleasurable and fulfilling in their own right, contribute to a sense of fulfilment and well-being in our lives.

New Year's Retreat (online) 28 Dec-1 Jan

From the arising of this, that arises.
This not being, that does not become

Spend this valuable time of ceasing and arising on retreat with Bodhilila and the...

What?

World on Fire - Building Resilience in Tough Times

I am preparing this blurb in early September. Summer is lingering and the days are still long. But as I reflect on our day together in late Oct I am only too aware that we will be well into the autumn and inevitably feeling the pinch of the energy and cost of living crises.

How can we use the Dharma to help us be resilient in the face of unstable times like these? How can we harness the...
