The Journey and The Guide - part 2

with Aryabandhu and Tarapalita

A new year a new start…

We have a choice right now. 

We can keep clinging to old views, patterns and habits or we can choose to let our restrictive old self die…

Like letting go of a pair of shoes that are too tight and don’t fit anymore.

This is transformation and this is what Buddhism is about

When something transforms, it is the birth of a new life and it means the ‘thing’ that has transformed had to die first. 

The caterpillar ‘died’ when it gave birth to the butterfly.

We are the same. 

They only difference is we must consciously choose to re-birth ourselves, again and again in every moment, through repeated actions. 

We are consciously choosing to step into our potential and potency.

We see things as they are and let go of our old toys. 

And in the process something in us dies.

And simultaneously something is born, in it’s place. 

This is one of the Buddhas key insights into the human situation. 

Our new Journey and the Guide course begins on Thursday the 12th and is an opportunity to discover how we transform ourselves, at the deepest level, in the light of our highest values. 

Participants will receive Maitreyabandhu’s book The Journey and the Guide as part of the course.

If you have done the previous course you can jump straight into this one. 

If not, no problem, we are looking at the first two great stages of Integration and Positive Emotion on the Saturday class’s, so if you can get along to them or are already coming then that will help.
