Thursday, 1st October, 8pm AEST
Group Sharings
You are warmly welcomed to join Lena, Tim and Ana-Maria for another lovely Thursday session.
Usually, the facilitators share their reflections, and then there is a question posed for discussion in our breakout groups, which is usually for around 20 minutes, followed by another beautiful guided meditation.
For this session, Lena will off the Acknowledgement of Country; and her own Personal Sharing, followed by a question for the breakout groups to discuss:
"What are you running after, believing it will give you or enable you to be something more than you are?
What enables you to STOP and drop into the present moment?"
Tim will lead us in a guided meditation to finish,
We hope you can join us
Our theme for October 2026 is:
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
Understanding the Sutra: Verse 8
Whoever can see this
No longer needs anything to attain.
Understanding the Sutra: Verse 9:
Bodhisattvas who practice
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
See no more obstacles in their mind,
and because there are no more obstacles in their mind
They can overcome all fear
Destroy all wrong perceptions
And realize Perfect Nirvana.
