Dr Stephen Fulder on - Buddha Mind and Ordinary Mind
in Conversation
Tickets: £5
Booking: via EVENTBRIGHT

It is easy to regard our spiritual life as a long uphill climb that we hope
will take us from a disturbing ordinary mind and a life of struggle,
especially during these challenging times, to a distant peak of Awakening.
And we assume we are somewhere in the middle. However, the practice of
seeing clearly, the wise heart of dharma, invites us to see our mind, our
inner face, from a new perspective. Does the ordinary mind need to be
disturbing? Does it need to be ordinary? Is the Buddha mind really
somewhere else? Aren't the Buddha and ourselves made of the same stuff?
Can we welcome and celebrate the discourse between 'our' Buddha Mind and
Ordinary Mind in our practice and in our daily life?
