🌈What is mistaken appearance?🌈

In this week’s class we will look at Buddha’s teachings on the way things actually exist as opposed to the way they appear. This is a profound subject, but gaining practical understanding of it helps us to live with flexibility of mind and lightness of being.

We’ve got a half-term break this week.
Many Kadampa Buddhists have gathered in the Lake District to take part in the Spring Festival with the wish to seek happiness from the true source of love - engaging in contemplations and meditations to develop a warm heart and feeling of being close to others which protects the mind from feelings that disturb our inner peace, such as jealousy and anger. 💕

‘The Compassionate Heart’
According to Buddha’s Sutra teachings, the compassion that we naturally feel is our ‘Buddha seed’ or pure potential. In this week’s class, we’ll look at how we can realise this potential by developing our compassionate heart to its fullest extent.

‘Developing a Balanced Mind’
This week’s class is about developing the mind of love - a balanced mind that regards all living beings as equally precious, recognising that their happiness and freedom is just as important as our own. Buddha teaches that this mind of love is the supreme method for solving our problems and fulfilling all wishes.
