✨Only 3-weeks to go until 'The Art of Acceptance' Half Day course✨

Class is on this Thursday, 7pm at Brain Watkins Hall (just behind the historic house on the corner of Cameron Road and Elizabeth Street).

We'll be looking at concentration and overcoming distractions.

Many people don't realise correct concentration is a calm, relaxed, clear, and focused mind. It's not tense or forced.

Come learn more and also enjoy two guided meditations.

Just a reminder, there's no classes for the next 2 weeks.

Well be back in action (calmly 😅) 7pm Thursday 18 September.

The next 2 weeks is a good time to reflect on what we've learned and practice these teachings in our daily lives. It would be great to try any of the following:

* Watching our mind - what states of mind make us feel happy, and which make us feel unhappy? How do we feel when our mind is relatively calm and peaceful?

* Focusing on other peoples good qualities and not their faults. How do we feel towards people after doing this for a few days? Do we have warmer, kinder feelings towards them?

* Try to rejoice in other peoples good qualities and good fortune. How does that feel compared to feeling jealous?

It's wonderful to listen to Buddha's teaching (Dharma), but it's even better to practice them, gain our own experience, and take them into our heart. Then the Dharma will gradually influence more of our actions, and we will know the value of these teachings from our own experience.

See you in 2 weeks 🤗

Be kind and patient with ourselves. Practice consistently and gently, learning to cherish and protect even the smallest insights we develop.
