Middle Way Course – The Eight Dreamlike Experiences of the Dharma

A four-week course at 8pm on Wednesday evenings: 19th, 26th September, 3rd, 10th October

The teaching of the Eight Dreamlike Experiences of the Dharma was composed in the 12th century by the Sakya master Jetsun Drakpa Gyaltsen, the third of the five founding masters of the Sakya tradition. Drakpa Gyaltsen was noted for giving short teachings expressing important points. The eight points covered in this text deal with topics such as the importance finding a space in our lives to meditate and study, letting go of attachment, turning away from disputes and diversions that might harm our practice and the correct understanding of the experiences of bliss and emptiness that occur in meditation.

David Armstrong, Sakya Buddhist Centre Bristol co-ordinator and long standing student of Lama Jampa Thaye, will lead this course of study and practice. The course will be divided into four one-hour sessions and will be ideal for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of the Mahayana Buddhist path.

Please arrive in good time for the 8pm start, the sessions will last for one hour.

There is a suggested donation (to the Centre) of £4.00 per session.
