Sydney Sangha Day – February 2025
February 2 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm
Cultivating confidence in our true nature and our spiritual path
Senior Teacher Jan van der Breggen, accompanied by Sydney instructor Alessandra Pizzardello, will guide a shared reflection on the topic of confidence, which in the teachings is presented as a crucial element of our spiritual journey.
The Tibetan term depa is multifaceted, and involves confidence in our own innate wakefulness, as well as trust in the qualities of the three jewels – Buddha, dharma, sangha – born from insight that arises from study, reflection, and meditation.
Developing this kind of trust and confidence will inspire our spiritual journey, arouse in us an eagerness to actualise our innate potential of wakefulness, and make us naturally turn towards the Buddha as our guide, the dharma as the path, and the sangha as our companions on the path.
