    “Touching the void: a catastrophic fall into heart”

    Sangha Night with Vajrin

    Evening begins at 7.30pm prompt.  Doors open from 7.15pm

    In early 2020, only weeks preceding the full onslaught of the pandemic, Vajrin survived a catastrophic fall from a bike deep within New Zealand bush. Paralysed from the chest down and stranded in Auckland for months of lockdown, he called upon the Dharma. Despite four decades of practice, it didn’t seem to help. Or did it? …in ways he hadn’t predicted. Come hear him speak.

    There can be a tension between what is seen as a dharmic perspective and those
    perspectives that are seen as more psychological.
    How do the discoveries of meditation and the discoveries of psychotherapy come
    together.
    Can we really be open to neither offering ultimate resolution.
    Over these 2 evenings at Sangha Night we will start to explore what each of these
    paths can offer in opening more and more...
