The Wheel of Life and its secrets

The symbol of the Wheel of Life has within it the whole of the Buddhist tradition. Before the printed word, this image contained everything you needed to know to practise the teachings of the Buddha. However, as with any detailed symbols, you needed someone to introduce you to its secrets.

Do you want to discover more about Buddhism? change the world around you? or simply improve your own life? If so, the essential secrets of the Wheel of Life might be of some help. Come and find out.

Tonight, Vajrajyoti will be introducing us to the impact of craving in our lives and the vast potential available when we choose to step away from it.

Here's what someone wrote recently about this theme:

my feeling is that you could spend twice the amount of time on it and still find much to explore - for example each of the realms has something to say about our modern world - consumerism and the hungry ghost realm, addiction and the god realm, rising anxiety and the hell realms. Also the inner wheel, I feel that hatred and greed and delusion are each topics in themselves. The gap, mind reactive vs mind creative, the proliferation of thoughts, such great concepts that have the ability to change how we engage with life. So much symbolism, so much to engage with.

These evenings start in the shrine room and end somewhere between 8:30 and 9pm. There will be an opportunity to ask your questions about Buddhism, both formally and informally.

Dharma Night is suitable for everyone, regardless of their level of experience or exposure to Buddhism. If you like what you find we recommend that you sign up for one of our introductory Buddhist meditation courses. These courses provide a systematic introduction to Buddhist meditation practise.
