Discovering Happiness
with Russell
Walker
|
Kindness,
along with Compassion, Sympathetic Joy and Equanimity
are some of the most precious and beautiful qualities
of the human spirit. When present they transform our
relationship with others and the world. They also
transform our inner life and lead to the discovery of
an enduring happiness which is not dependant on
changing conditions. In this retreat we will explore
how they are inter-related and how they can be
nurtured through meditation practice.

Introduction to Meditation
An evening course for beginners with Di.
Phone 338 7070 for information
Sutta
Study: Part Two of the Majjhima Nikaya
Shaila Catherine has
put together a three-year study course on the Middle
Length Discourses of the Buddha, which consists of
150 suttas. Each year fifty suttas are covered, and
this year we will be looking at the final fifty. The
suttas are not in any particular order in the Middle
Length discourses, so it’s not necessary to have
attended the previous year’s courses – all
are welcome. We’ll be reading and studying these
suttas over a nine month period from April through
January, meeting once a month to discuss our
understandings.
If you are interested in
joining, please contact Julie on 348 1462. Cost in
$50 plus dana for Saila. Six participants minimum.
Shaila
Catherine has been practicing meditation since 1980,
with seven years of accumulated silent retreat
experience. She has been teaching since 1996, in the
USA, India, Israel, and England. Shaila studied at
the Sharpham College for Buddhist Studies in England,
and dedicated several years to studying with masters
in Asia, including Poonjaji, Buddhadasa Bhikkhu,
Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche and Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. She
completed a one-year intensive mediation retreat in
2004 with the focus on concentration and jhana.
