Suvaco - On emptiness, self, not self and personality
While some of us resonate deeply with the liberating teachings on emptiness, we may at times find ourselves perplexed and hesitate to radically engage with this core aspect of Buddhist teachings and not recognise how we limit our practice. Typically the 'self or "ego" is regarded as the hindrance to realising liberation, happiness and peace.
This 5 week course is an exploration into an ever deepening journey of understanding about emptiness and how it can bring forth profoundly liberating insights transforming the way we perceive self, other, and act in the world. Emphasis will be placed on developing creative ways of approaching a clear stable focus from where it is possible to inquire into the intimate connections between emptiness and the power of perception, while we develop strategies to release us from our self obsessive tendencies.
The course will be suitable for experienced practitioners and newer practitioners who already have a grounding in the basics of Insight meditation. If you would like to come on a short Introduction to Meditation course first please contact us (details overleaf).
