Total Relaxation

​​

Dear Friends,

please join us for another special COS meeting with Daya, who will be kindly leading us through a specially prepared 'Total Relaxation' session and Adam offering the Technical Support.
Deep Relaxation Guided practices are designed to help us to rest, breathe, and move attention through the body, release tension and foster peace and gratitude.

​

Our theme for March is "The Insight That Brings Us To The Other Shore"
Understanding the Sutra: verses 1 and 2:
Avalokiteshvara, while practicing deeply with
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore,
suddenly discovered that all of the five Skandas are equally empty
and with this realization he overcame all ill-being.
Listen Shariputra
This Body itself is Emptiness
And Emptiness itself is this Body
This Body is not other than Emptiness,
And Emptiness is not other than this Body.
The same is true of Feelings,
Perceptions, Mental Formations
And Consciousness.
What is the insight that brings us to the Other Shore?
The insight is when we understand that everything is empty of a separate self. Thus we can’t describe anything as permanent, pure or having a self. And they also cannot be characterized as being impermanent, impure or lacking a self. This teaching is also found in the Diamond Sutra.
