About this event
Buddhism talks about śūnyatā – variously translated as emptiness, fullness, beauty, even ‘the ground of perfection’.
How do we relate to and explore this exciting and mysterious expression of the true nature of things – this vision of a developing a consciousness that transcends all limitations?
Firstly, we develop a steady, empathetic, dynamic mind; then we turn that flexible mind towards a direct confrontation with reality.
Only when both of these faculties are in play can we enter the unbounded world of the truly real.
Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
