Secrets of the East Series: BUDDHA’S FOUR PILLARS OF AWAKENING

Buddha was one of the most revered beings who ever walked on this earth and showed us the ways to get rid of our sufferings. His teachings and life lessons are so profound that they continue to guide us and uplift the human consciousness even after 2500 years of leaving his body. In one such supremely profound teaching, Buddha talked about four ‘Brahma Vihara’ – ‘Brahma’ literally means ‘Divine’ and ‘Vihara’ means “a place to dwell or a place where one walks”. Buddha said whoever practices these four divine attributes, is sure to dwell in the space of divinity within oneself. These four divine virtues are: • Maitri (Friendliness or loving kindness) • Karuna (Compassion) • Mudita (Joyfulness) • Upeksha (Equanimity) These are the four essential pillars that every seeker must establish on the path to self-realization. In this workshop with we will unravel these teachings of Buddha in a way where we can understand the subtleties of each of these four pillars. We will also learn practical ways to cultivate these indispensable attributes to create a life of love, peace and joyful togetherness. Sri Anish teaches the essence of Buddha’s teachings, making them easily accessible and assists us to connect, relate and grasp them. It is Sri Anish’s own unique, lived and authentic experience, which makes each of his workshops a deep and life changing process. Workshop format: • in depth dialogue sessions on each of the four pillars • interactive question answer sessions • two powerful Buddhist mantra chants and meditations Participants will be given: • handouts of the mantra meanings to enable them to continue regular practice at home • a daily reminder poster of the four pillars, for joyful and awakened living Sri Anish is a guide, mentor, fellow traveller and light to many spiritual aspirants across the world. A loving presence, Sri Anish has brought clarity and joyful intensity to the lives of many seekers by uncovering their inner conflicts and helping them discover their true nature. This continuous journey towards touching one’s highest potential, leads him to unknown lands of the world outside and to the ever-expanding vistas of the inner consciousness.

College of Psychic Studies
HOST:
College of Psychic Studies - The College was founded in 1884 by a group of eminent scholars and scientists. Its purpose was to facilitate formal investigation into the psychic and mediumistic phenomena that were such a topic of debate in the Victorian era. With great courage, this group of distinguished people, some notable in science, others from within the ranks of the Anglican clergy, defied the prevailing canons of respectability in order to proclaim to a world of increasing materialism that human personality survives bodily death and that this is capable of demonstration.
