Juline Smit might attend Dharmavidya's event

THE REAL MEANING OF MINDFULNESS at Sukhavati (Amida London)

March 3, 2012 from 9:30am to 4:30pm

Mindfulness has become a popular concept that is increasingly widely used. However the essence of Buddhism is not a technique, but rather an attitude to life, an attitude that encompasses more than the present moment, more than oneself and more than what presents itself to consciousness. Mindfulness is a deeper and broader matter than we are often led to think. The mind that Buddha has in mind is something very big indeed. Suggested donation £15See More

Juline Smit might attend Sumaya's event

SILA SESSHIN - led by Dharmavidya at Sahishnu's House in Bolsover, Derbyshire, UK

June 18, 2012 at 8am to June 22, 2012 at 4pm

This intensive five day retreat is focussed upon the, nature, application and meaning of Buddhist ethics. In this approach to Buddhism ethical guidelines are considered as expressions of and supports to faith and the mind of awakening; as such they are "koans" or "hwadu" - foci for spiritual practice to be worked with on-goingly through life. Each ethical precept is a facet of nembutsu, an aspect of the relationship between the foolish limited being and intuited, unimpeded light of awakening.…See More

Shamanism is encounter in which a person learns humility, acquires an openness to other powers and comes to appreciate the world of nature.

I also recently made my first trip to The Buddhist House. I too have found a welcoming sense of community here, although this has mosty been a matter of online correspondence. I look forward to going back to TBH in May for the 2011 conference - its a real affirmtion of onlne contact, for me, when it opens the door to meeting people face to face and getting tp know them. For me too, this journey is at a relatively early stage. I encountered Amida Trust's teaching (to which I was immediately drawn) about 18 months ago, after being involved in another Buddhist community for a number of years.
Do get in touch anytime if you want to talk anything over, and if there are any events down this way that look interesting I'll send you a message.

All the best,
Mat

Welcome! I'm sure you'll find much here to support and inspire you. I'm fairly new here myself, having dicovered Amida Trust a little over a year ago.

I live in Falmouth, Cornwall, an hour or so West of you in Plymouth, where I teach and make art for a living, I see you're interested in Art and philosophy? You might find the Arts in Amida group worth a look. Do get in touch if you're ever passing Westwards.

Best wishes,
Mat Osmond
