Ethics Meditation Wisdom

A drop-in class that welcomes all women who know the mindfulness of breathing and metta bhavana. Each evening includes a period of meditation, a tea break and an exploration of a theme through talks, study and ritual.

To link with the LBC’s 2012 theme of Spiritual Death we will explore teachings of the Buddha in his last days from the Mahaparinirvana Sutta. The Buddha repeatedly taught his disciples the Three Fold Way: ethics, meditation and wisdom so in each session of the year, spring, summer and autumn, we will explore an overall theme of these essential teachings, respectively.

Spring Session at the Class Refuges and Precepts explored through teachings given by the Buddha in his last days, and more talks from inspiring women about their spiritual lives in the Women Elders of the Triratna Buddhist Order series.
