Bristol Young Buddhists
This event has already happened.
This event is going to be a little different to usual!
Please note the slightly earlier start time.
We are going to spend the evening with the wider Triratna Buddhist community by joining in the start of the Nature of Mind project. This is an innovative and rich series of events over 6-months which looks into the meeting of ancient Buddhist wisdom and modern scientific understanding. We will join others online for the talk, and do discussion and hanging out just in person with those at our Centre.
“The mind is our most valuable asset and our most dangerous possession. It can be amazingly creative or terrifyingly destructive. Every experience we have, or could possibly have, is mediated through the mind. The health of our mind is the health of our life. From a Buddhist point of view our greatest danger is not realising the potential of our mind, and not finding ways of living out that potential.
A 6-month season of events featuring prominent psychologists, neuroscientists, and meditators; including interactive seminars, meditation masterclasses, and retreats. Each month, we will release conversations with prominent thinkers on the nature of mind and reflect upon their ideas with a seminar. This will be followed by a week of meditation guidance, applying what we’ve learnt to our own mind. The project culminates with an immersive retreat in August 2022. From theory, to reflection, to practice: join us in exploring the Nature of Mind.”
Do come along and join us!
Please familiarise yourself with our updated covid guidelines (Feb 2022) before visiting the centre. Thank you.
