Dharma Monday

Cultivating emotional wisdom

Sometimes we pay a high price for caring deeply for others and the world and can lose 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.

Metta, moving past indifference to caring
Also known as universal loving kindness metta is a recognition of the most basic solidarity that we have with others. It is the sharing of a common aspiration for ourselves and all beings to find fulfillment and escape suffering. On this evening Karunajoti and Sarah Guppy will be sharing their thoughts on metta.

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.

The usual program for the evening is a talk on some aspect of Buddhism, tea break, then group meditation to end the evening.
