Thursday, 23rd April, 8pm AEST
Thursday Sangha Group Sharings
Dear family,
Please join Faye, Tim and Sarah as we continue to explore the third verse of sutra The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore.
​
Typically, our Thursday Sangha sessions involve sharin or reflections from the facilitators, and usually a question for the Sangha breakout groups to explore between themselves. This is usually followed by a guided meditation to finish.
​
Our theme for April is continuing; "The Insight That Brings Us To The Other Shore"
Understanding the Sutra: verse 3 (part 1)
Listen Shariputra
All phenomena bear the mark of Emptiness
Their true nature is the nature of
no Birth, no Death
no Being, no Nonbeing
We are posed the question:
How long has my hand been here?
When we explore this question we see that many generations of ancestors are in our hand. Our ancestors are still alive in this present moment. We are their continuation.
I am more than this physical body, I am my thought, my speech, my actions. Look for me in yourself (Thich Nhat Hanh).
