SUMMARY:The Inner Cosmos of Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Within the pause between two breaths\, the outer world dissolves\, and the inner cosmos comes into view. Thoughts drift like comets through the mind’s vast sky.  Feelings and emotions orbit the moons of Tanha and Dukkha. \n\n\n\nIn the rays of the Buddha sun\, galaxies of thought spiral into stillness\, and the self becomes a mere constellation that we see through and beyond. \n\n\n\nCome and join Jnanamitra\, Bodhisetu and the team as we explore the Universe of Buddhist Meditation and voyage through our Inner Cosmos. \n\n\n\nShanti \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to join\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is held at the Ipswich Buddhist Centre.

SUMMARY:Vajra and Bell perfectly balanced: Equanimity the antidote to ill-will and aversion
DESCRIPTION:Led by Shubha\n\n\n\nThis Day retreat will be presented in the ritual context of Akshobhya and Locana\, the blue male and female Buddhas with the mirror-like wisdom. Akshobhya’s name means ‘Unshakable’ and he holds a vajra. Locana’s name means ‘One with the Eye’ and she holds the vajra-bell. Contemplating them is the antidote to hatred and ill-will\, and aversion to experience. \n\n\n\nWe will explore opening the Dharma eye and seeing with the perspective of impermanence and dependent arising and thus the potential for spiritual growth. We will enter the path of equanimity that transcends the ups and downs of worldly life poised like the Vajra of Truth and spontaneously spacious like the Void of the Bell. \n\n\n\nThere are three Order Members in Ipswich who took the meditation of Akshobhya at ordination\, Ariyanivata\, Silavapi and Shubha.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Meditation and Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Current Theme: Living with Awareness\n\n\n\nThe Buddhist practice of Mindfulness can be an effective way of changing.

SUMMARY:Dharma First
DESCRIPTION:A space for Mitras and Order members to discuss the dharma and how they are working with it in their lives.  \n\n\n\nIt’s an opportunity to explore ideas and concepts to deepen our understanding of them through discussion with others. When we share our thinking with friends and invite their thoughts in\, we start to move away from our views that are informed by our particular conditioning. \n\n\n\nSomewhere\, in the space where our individual minds meet each other\, we begin to move closer towards the truth that the Buddha discovered. \n\n\n\nThis event is a different format to the usual class. There won’t be a set theme or a prepared presentation. The evening will have space for three 20-minute discussions. The idea is to have in-depth dharmakatha in a playful framework.  \n\n\n\nEither come along with a suggested topic to discuss or just come to enjoy your friends having a conversation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIs this event suitable for me?\n\n\n\nThis event is suitable for all Mitras and Order members. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do I join\n\n\n\n\n\nYou are welcome to join from 6pm to share a simple vegan supper or at 7pm for the discussion. If joining for the supper please let Mosaic know in advance via Slack. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is offered without charge but please remember that the our Centre is powered entirely by generosity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTeam\n\n\n\nThis event is brought to you by the very wonderful… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMosaic\n\n\n\n\n\nAmy\n\n\n\n\n\nAriyanivata\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAvril\n\n\n\n\n\nViryamati

SUMMARY:Introduction to Meditation and Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Current Theme: Living with Awareness\n\n\n\nThe Buddhist practice of Mindfulness can be an effective way of changing. Over the next number of weeks we will explore how we can develop a mindfulness practice that evolves the way we relate to ourselves\, others and the world\, into something more inclusive\, creative\, and expansive. \n\n\n\nEach session will introduce a meditation that you can take away and practice. There will also be explanations of practical aspects of the Buddhist way of life. \n\n\n\nWe hope that you can make each session but if that is not possible\, come along when you can – each morning will be designed to stand-alone and complete in itself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to join\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us at the Centre\, doors open from 10:15am.  \n\n\n\nThis event is free to attend\, but if you feel moved to support us\, donations are warmly appreciated.  \n\n\n\nYou can find more information on our Giving Page. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTeam\n\n\n\nThese sessions are led and/or supported by: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmoghavajra\n\n\n\n\n\nAriyanivata\n\n\n\n\n\nShubha\n\n\n\n\n\nJvalasara\n\n\n\n\n\nHarşamitra\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinz\n\n\n\n\n\nDarren\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam\n\n\n\n\n\nAshley\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel

SUMMARY:Introduction to Meditation and Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Current Theme: Living with Awareness\n\n\n\nThe Buddhist practice of Mindfulness can be an effective way of changing. Over the next number of weeks we will explore how we can develop a mindfulness practice that evolves the way we relate to ourselves\, others and the world\, into something more inclusive\, creative\, and expansive. \n\n\n\nEach session will introduce a meditation that you can take away and practice. There will also be explanations of practical aspects of the Buddhist way of life. \n\n\n\nWe hope that you can make each session but if that is not possible\, come along when you can – each morning will be designed to stand-alone and complete in itself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to join\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us at the Centre\, doors open from 10:15am.  \n\n\n\nThis event is free to attend\, but if you feel moved to support us\, donations are warmly appreciated.  \n\n\n\nYou can find more information on our Giving Page. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTeam\n\n\n\nThese sessions are led and/or supported by: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmoghavajra\n\n\n\n\n\nAriyanivata\n\n\n\n\n\nShubha\n\n\n\n\n\nJvalasara\n\n\n\n\n\nHarşamitra\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinz\n\n\n\n\n\nDarren\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam\n\n\n\n\n\nAshley\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel
