MEDITATION - BUDDHA BOOTCAMP
CALM ABIDING MEDITATION COURSE & WEEKEND RETREAT
“BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD”
You are invited to the next Calm Abiding Meditation Course and Weekend Retreat
The theme for the next course comes from one of our great forefathers Mahatma Ghandhi, whose famous, most relevant, quote for our modern times, “Be the Change You Want to see in the World”, to me, is the most eloquent way to describe what meditation can do for you.
It helps us to stop looking “out there” for happiness. It helps us to stop trying to change the people and our environment to achieve happiness.
It helps us to empower ourselves to be the “Director of our own Happiness”. A happiness that is not dependent on other people or our environment.
It is dependent on our willingness to just “sit” and find out about the most interesting person on the planet . . . OURSELVES!
We are so separated from ourselves (and others) that we are lonely and unhappy.
We need to take “time out” to contemplate. Every moment we are not “with” ourselves (and others) . . .
That is a moment of living happily that has been robbed from us.
Come and learn how to meditate to find out how to “live happily”, every moment of your life ”in the here and now”.
Don’t make the mistake of “waiting until you have time” . . . You will never find the time . . . Our self-imposed “ busy western lifestyle” will steal it away from you . . . And before you know it . .
We Welcome you to attend the next meditation course to be held at The Oddiyana Dharma Sanctuary. Relax in our tranquil Temple hidden amongst a serene tropical garden with a variety of contemplative spaces conducive to healing our spirit.
After sadly having to postpone the Calm Abiding Course and Weekend Retreat we are happy to announce the new dates have been set.
We highly recommend this course for beginners as well as for people who have already completed the course to renew their commitment to their own well being by deepening their and understanding and practice. There are many levels to Calm Abiding Meditation which are better realised by incorporating study (i.e.; hearing the teachings and reading books) to learn how to sharpen our skills to benefit from our meditation on a much deeper level.
For the new Course we thought we would like to have a celebration after the Retreat ends by having a movie night on the following Wednesday Night the 31st March from 6.00pm (see details below). Also you can Google The Last Emperor to see the great cast and awards given to this classic and astonishing movie.
