SUMMARY:How We Live is How We Die | Rigpa Sydney Book Group
DESCRIPTION:As much as we might try to resist\, endings happen in every moment—the end of a breath\, the end of a day\, the end of a relationship\, and ultimately the end of life. And accompanying each ending is a beginning\, though it may be unclear what the beginning holds. In How We Live Is How We Die\, Pema Chödrön shares her wisdom for working with this flow of life—learning to live with ease\, joy\, and compassion through uncertainty\, embracing new beginnings\, and ultimately preparing for death with curiosity and openness rather than fear. 💖 \nRigpa Sydney’s book group meets on the third Tuesday of each month.  \nEveryone Welcome \n⏰10:30am – 12.30pm AEST\n📍in person at Rigpa Sydney

SUMMARY:Cultivating Compassion: A Practical Guide to Being Kind | Online
DESCRIPTION:In a world full of turmoil\, stress\, anxiety and disconnect\, we are all looking for simple\, practical ways in which we can nurture our own inner goodness and find the peace and courage to live well. \nGeshe Chekawa’s summation of the Tibetan Buddhist guidelines for living a compassionate life\, known as the Seven Points of Mind Training\, have guided practitioners for more than a thousand years. His pithy slogans open the way for each of us to nurture our own compassionate nature and put compassion into action in everyday life. These slogans offer a vital practical antidote to despair and despondency. \nCultivating Compassion presents teachings on the Seven Points given by Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche accompanied by reflections from Traleg Rinpoche. \nJetsün Khandro Rinpoche is one of the outstanding meditation teachers of our time. She is known for her penetrating wisdom and humour\, conveying the Buddhist teachings in a concise and lively manner\, enriched with personal anecdotes\, which are of particular relevance to the everyday life of the modern\, fast-paced world. \nFrom the early 1980s onwards\, Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche was a pioneer in bringing Tibetan Buddhism to Australia and was a strong advocate of non-sectarianism. He taught extensively on many aspects of Buddhist psychology and philosophy\, comparative religion\, and Buddhist and Western thought. \nThis program is open to all\, but does assume some familiarity with meditation and the Buddhist understanding of interdependence.
