Men's study day
Doors of Liberation: for mitras and order members only
The topic for this day with be the four doors of liberation.
The Dharma is said to be beyond concepts and rational categories, and hence beyond the ability of language to describe. The construction of reality in our minds, which we have learned as part of our social and psychological conditioning, is not what is actually there. We need a language to discuss what is not subject to conditionality. We have to use words related to perception, but the danger is literalism. The best clue to what is not the world of appearances is the vimoksa-mukhas or Doors of Liberation. Study notes will be provided.
For those who want some prior reading: Sangharakshita 'The Three Jewels' Chapter 14 The Goal, specifically the paragraphs on the formula of the three vimokkha-mukhas.
It is suggested that you attend the 9 am open meditation at the ABC to start the day but this is optional.
Contact Purna with any questions, advance booking required.
