ARTS AND THE SPIRITUAL LIFE
ARTS AND THE SPIRITUAL LIFE
with RATNADHYA
TUESDAY 12 MAY
7.30 - 9.30PM
Ratnadhya, himself a professional musician and actor, discusses the importance of the arts as part of the 'Higher Evolution', leading on from Kulamitra's series of talks on the subject.
Appreciation of the arts was one of the distinctive emphases that Sangharakshita brought to his teaching of the Dharma, going so far indeed, as to speak of a "religion of art".
We'll be exploring how engagement with the arts can play an important part in our spiritual practice and have a chance to incorporate elements of poetry and music in the evening's meditation.

SUFFERING AND THE nature of existence
SUFFERING AND THE nature of existence
2-PART SERIES WITH NARAVIRA
19 & 26 MAY
Naravira will be exploring the notion of suffering, and how and why it appears so prominently in the Buddhist teaching.
What is the meaning of suffering? What is its real cause? Is it really possible to go beyond suffering? If so, how can this happen?
Suffering was an essential motivation for the Buddha in his search for truth. The understanding of suffering and its causes lies at back of all Buddhist teaching.
