Pleasure and Pain
Robert will talk tonight about the twin worldly winds of Pleasure and Pain. Most of us spend most of our lives pursuing the pleasant in all its various guises : sensory pleasure, nice possessions, enjoyable relationships and suffer terribly when they are absent. We also spend vast amounts of time, energy and money trying to avoid pain, both emotional and physical. However, try as we might, we cannot hold on to pleasure or avoid pain, and this makes our suffering even worse. Robert will speak to this conundrum from the point of view of the Buddha's teachings and his own life experience.
Wednesday nights are a place for people who have attended our foundation courses to come together and celebrate community as well as an opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the Buddha's teaching, and their understanding of how to practice it.
