The role of beauty in the spiritual life
What it means for our life and practice
One of the distinct differences between other schools of Buddhism and the Triratna Buddhist Community (of which we're a part) is our emphasis on the importance of the arts, and the role of Beauty.
But what exactly might this mean in our own lives and spiritual explorations? Is it possible to develop our sensitivity to Beauty? And if so, how might we do that? Isn’t Beauty just a subjective quality found in the eye of the beholder?
On this weekend, we will be exploring some of our founder's writings on the role of beauty in the Dharma life. We will be putting some of his suggestions into practice, reflecting together on how they might change our practice and understanding of the Dharma, and bringing them into our meditations.
This event is open to all those who have already learned the metta bhavana and mindfulness of breathing meditations within our tradition.
