Dharma Monday

Cultivating emotional wisdom

Sometimes we pay a high price for caring deeply for others and the world, losing ourselves in nihilistic despair. Emotional wisdom is the capacity to care without getting stuck in painful dead ends. It enables us to feel compassion even if we cannot directly help. And if we start going down the emotional gurgler it helps us tune into the beauty, love and strength in ourselves and others.

Over five weeks we will be exploring how to become more loving, more compassionate and more emotionally flexible. We will be exploring how to care so deeply that we can open to the very heart of reality.

Mudita, seeing the beauty in ourselves and others
Mudita means joy - especially sympathetic or vicarious joy or the pleasure that comes from delighting in another persons well-being. When we can be happy for the joys other beings feel unadulterated by self interest. On this evening Sujiva will be sharing his understanding on what this means.

Dharma night is suitable for those who would like to learn more about Buddhism. It is also a popular night for regular friends to drop in and practice together. If you are a beginner but can't get to/or have just started one of our meditation classes, you are still welcome to come and join in.
