Tibetan Wheel of Life: mapping our dilemma and its solutions - Unskilful Mind Styles

The Wheel of Life is a symbol of the Buddhist perspective on the human situation. The whole wheel is held in the hands of a demon, impermanence, which keeps the whole thing moving, shifting and changing. This constant change and movement offers us possibilities. Contrary to what we sometimes believe impermanence is not something to be struggled against but something to be taken advantage of. We can change for the better and a more satisfying life is possible. But only if we embrace the fact of impermanence rather than fight it.

This will be the fourth talk in our current six week series. Helen will be using the wheel as a mirror to our true nature, understanding the 6 realms as psychological states of being and the possibilities it provides us to live a spiritual life. Each of the 6 realms depicts a mind state that we can all relate to, but do we really see ourselves, or do we react with craving and aversion? What if by using the wheel as a mirror it provides insights into our practice and the very essence of how we live our lives?

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 these evenings is a talk on some aspect of Buddhism followed by a tea break and a group meditation to end the evening. Please join us.
