During this three-week course, Buddhist teacher, David Oromith will offer teachings on The Three Poisons (the akusala-mula.)
In the centre of the iconic Buddhist image of the Wheel of Life, or Bhavachakra, you will find depicted a pig, a bird, and a snake. These three creatures represent the Three Poisons, or Three Unwholesome Roots – ignorance, attachment, and aversion.
These Three Poisons are the source of our negative mental states–such as anxiety, anger, jealousy–and the root from which all unskillful or harmful actions spring. It is understood in Buddhism that as long as our thoughts, words, and actions are conditioned by the Three Poisons they will cause unceasing problems for ourselves and others.
It is therefore essential that we learn to overcome these minds, in order to uncover lasting wellbeing and happiness in our life.
This course is suitable for everyone - whether you are new to meditation or Buddhist thought, or have been studying for a while.
This course will consist of 3 x 1.5hr sessions, delivered Live via Google Meet on Tuesday evenings, 7-8.30pm from Tuesday, 16th Mach 2021 to Tuesday, 30th March 2021. Recordings will be made available to those who are unable to attend live.
The sessions are a mixture of dharma talks, guided meditations, and group discussion.
There is no need to prepare anything special - just find a quiet, comfortable place where you will not be disturbed.
