Practice Day for Women Mitras at the Cambridge Buddhist Centre
When Sangharakshita was asked how one should practice Just Sitting he responded, “you just sit.” On this day through a series of meditations and exercises, we will explore together this most simple and yet mysterious and profound “non practice”, how it fits into and can enrich our total system of practice, and what attitudes and perspectives might be helpful in approaching it. This day will be an experiential workshop. All you need to bring – as well as lunch to share – is your curiosity and openness!
Doors open at 10am for a 10.30am start.
Fri 5 Dec | 7.15pm - 9.30pm
