ECO-THERAPY at AMIDA FRANCE
August 2, 2010 to August 6, 2010
ECO-THERAPYCaroline Brazier and Gina ClaytonThe environment is a great healer. Being in the midst of the processes of growth and change evident in the natural world, we are faced with the realities of a universe in which all is impermanent, yet beauty is everywhere. Through interacting with this world, we are changed and challenged, facing our limits or recognising the benign presence of ordinary miracles. Amida France provides a wonderful situation for exploration ofourselves in relation to…See More

- Hi Graeme - How goes it with you? I missed your presence on the recent course block and am wondering if things are ok....I hope the lovely weather has reached you all up in Scotland as things have been so heavenly here in Wales recently. I went camping by the sea with the kids last weekend - it was really lovely, one of the highlights of the year I'm glad to say.
Keep on chanting,
Love Hussam

- Hi Graeme - we meet on Tuesday evenings here in Gosforth - we don't usually have weekend events as, when I've tried them in the past, there haven't been any takers. However we can have another go. There may, possibly, be one weekend in January or in February when we could arrange, say, a day retreat. And there would be somewhere you could stay. I'll let you know when we firm something up.

- Why not become friends with Ruth Robinson, who has moved to Edinburgh, having been a member of the Newcastle sangha. Also Modgala, who has friends and relatives in Scotland and who comes up to visit. And, of course, looking forward to seeing you in Newcastle in the New Year. Our website is http://lotusinthemud.typepad.com/amida_newcastle/ - do have a look round the site - there's quite a bit of information there that might interest you.

enlightened or bombu?
Started by Thomas Myojo Radcliffe in Buddhist Teaching. Last reply by Robert McCarthy May 7. 9 Replies 0 Likes
Zen is clear that we are essentially enlightened beings. Pureland insists that we are hopelessly deluded. Both seem to me to be true. On the one hand the mind with all it's contradictions,…Continue
Other-power or Zazen?

I see Amida Trust bringing the 2 together, or are they mutually exclusive? ie the here and now focus on breath of Zazen implies continuity and oneness, whereas the 'other- power' of Amida can be seen…Continue
The prison of the question of "liking or not liking"
Started by Katrien Sercu in Amida Trust & Amida-shu Development. Last reply by Robert McCarthy Apr 30. 9 Replies 0 Likes
It is surprising how a question, which was a step forwards earlier in life becomes an ennoying limitation that, in good moments, can evoke a smile in me as it is really a funny and stupid question.…Continue
