Death and Rebirth
facilitated by David Midgley

Thursdays: 18:30 to 20:00 from 26 April until 31 May 2012

Each us will die, and until that day, we'll lose many of our closest relatives and friends. Although death is inevitable, rarely do we spend time thinking about it - or the transient nature of all events.  According to the teachings of the Buddha, it is possible to approach death as a powerful positive spiritual experience.  In this Discovering Buddhism Module, we will explore the process of death and rebirth and its impact on the way we live our daily lives.  This reflection can encourage us to fulfill our life purpose, resolve conflicts, and develop the skills to help others and ourselves at the time of death.

All about Karma
facilitated by David Midgley

Learning about karma, the law of cause and effect, is one of the most powerful and effective ways to take control of your life and thereby assume responsibility for your future experiences.  In this module we will study the relation between action and result from a Buddhist perspective and generate a clear understanding about how karma works. We will be taught practical methods to create the causes of happiness as well as to purify past mistaken actions, which are the causes for suffering.

Suggested Donation: £6 per class or £25 for a complete module.
