Being Peace in the Face of War
Overview
A day of Buddhist wisdom teachings, and practices at the Jamyang Buddhist Centre London. With a meditation at the Imperial War Museum
What does Buddhism have to offer at this time of crisis, division and conflict across the world? Within our own minds and hearts as on the world stage, and in humankind’s relationship with nature, we so often see the divisive influence of the three poisons of greed, hatred and delusion.
How can our faith tradition help orient us to a compassionate and appropriate response within ourselves and in the world?
Join us for this day of talks, reflection, meditation, movement and connection, in the company of other people of faith within the inspiring surroundings of the Jamyang Buddhist Centre.
