"Embracing Suffering, Embracing Life,"
led by
Avi Magidoff
Date: Saturday May 11, from 9:30 to
3:00 Place: Chua Vietnam,
68 Bradeen Street, Roslindale, MA
We often look at
the first Noble Truth, the reality of suffering, with the intent
of turning it around, transforming it to happiness. But are we
too quick to do that? When we open ourselves up to suffering, when
we are fully in touch with it, that is when the lotus appears from
within the mud. The Lojong (mind training) tradition with its emphasis
on TongLen (sending and receiving) emphasizes training ourselves
in the capacity to be with suffering, to take it on, which is the
quality of Kshanti Paramita. In this DoM we shall practice TongLen
not so much as Metta, but as a way to be in touch with suffering
as well as joy, and a path to enter the Spacious Mind and embrace
life.
