Manchester Buddhist Centre

Day four of Going Inward — Christmas Day to much of the world — and we’re reflect­ing on les­sons learnt dur­ing this fast dying year

Do we have an oppor­tun­ity to learn from our mis­takes? Are we helped, through our prac­tising the Dharma, to move on from them? Or are we like the unfortunately-poisoned chil­dren of the skilled phys­i­cian in the White Lotus Sutra?

…but when they are given the medi­cine, they refuse to take it. Why? Because the poison has pen­et­rated deeply and their minds no longer func­tion as before. So although the medi­cine is of excel­lent col­our and fra­grance, they do not per­ceive it as good

Tomorrow’s full day ses­sion starts at 10.30 am

— all sangha mem­bers welcome
