New Year practice week (centre & online)
Reflections to clarify our deepest motivations
Join us for this non-residential practice week to reinvigorate your practice for the year ahead. There will be a mix of in-person sessions at the centre and online sessions across the week, hopefully meaning you can join in and have it complement your daily and working life.
Four traditional Tibetan reflections turn our minds towards uncovering and clarifying our deepest motivations for practice: the preciousness and rarity of human life, the transitoriness of life and certainty of death, karma and the consequences of our actions, and the defects and dangers of conditioned existence.
In opening our minds towards these reflections, we open ourselves to deeper meaning, clarity of purpose and joy in the beauty and preciousness of life.
