The White Lotus Sutra
A world of magic and myth
Thousands of Buddhas, millions of bodhisattvas, a vast stupa made of precious metals rising high into the sky . . .
Sangharakshita once described the White Lotus Sutra as ‘Buddhist science fiction’ and suggested we read it in that way.
The sutra tackles a problem we all face in our practice: we can’t fully experience the Buddha's teachings with our ordinary mind alone. We can’t expand our consciousness or taste the transcendental by simply reading a book.
This non-residential retreat will explore this magical world by using our imagination as well as our mind through meditation, readings, reflection and discussion. Suitable for people familiar with our meditation practices.
A world of magic and myth awaits you.
