Friday, 17th April, 8pm AEDT 
Sitting and Walking Meditation

​​

Dear Friends.

​

You are warmly welcomed to join Jan, Ana-Maria and Debbie for another lovely Friday evening/day/morning depending upon where you are sitting 

​

We will all participate in a silent sitting meditation , followed by walking meditation and then conclude with a reading.
We hope you can join us 

Our continuing theme for April is:
"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

Nothing is created and nothing is destroyed (Antoine Lavoisier, French scientist).
If we think that we have been born on a particular day then it implies that there is also death. If we believe that we were born and we did not exist before our birth then it also implies that from nothing we become something. The notions of birth and death are created by our minds. It is impossible for something to become nothing. Likewise a cloud, when it disappears, takes on another form – ice, rain, fog.
