The bliss of perfect freedom- developing authentic renunciation

Discover the deep joy that arises from authentic renunciation โ€” the courageous wish to break free from the endless cycle of craving and dissatisfaction.

Far from being a loss, renunciation opens the gateway to supreme inner peace, lasting freedom, and a truly meaningful life. When this deep longing for the bliss of perfect freedom begins to dawn in our mind, we experience a grounded and profound joy, unshaken by external conditions.

This course will be taught by visiting teacher Gen Kelsang Tilopa, who is the Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Centre Liverpool. He has been teaching for almost 25 years, and he brings to the teachings of pure Kadam Dharma his varied life experiences to help and guide his students, and to show how pure Dharma teachings and practice can improve the quality of our daily lives at work, at home, and in our everyday relationships.

TOMORROW- Awaken your Buddha nature with Kelsang Sama ๐Ÿ’ซ

Still places available to book!

In this course we will gain an understanding and practical experience of how to develop the mind of compassion in meditation, by exploring the profound meaning of Chandrakirtiโ€™s verse in Guide to the Middle Way, illuminated by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in his book Ocean of Nectar.

โ€œI bow down to that compassion for living beings
Who from first conceiving โ€˜Iโ€™ with respect to the self
The thinking this is mine and generating attachment for things
Are without self-control like the spinning of a wellโ€

There is no single living being who is not a suitable object of our compassion, we need to empathise with them and feel their pain as keenly as our own ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

By practising Buddhaโ€™s teachings on universal compassion we can solve our daily problems that arise from anger.
