SUMMARY:The Taste of Freedom course
DESCRIPTION:This is a Young Peoples’ Group Course\, so for those aged 18-35 \nA practical six week course in freeing ourselves from what binds us\, starting Tuesday 14th April and finishing on Tuesday 19th May\, from 6pm to 9pm (with a break).\nThe point of being a Buddhist is to free ourselves from whatever keeps us trapped in a mundane and repetitive cycle. But how do we do that\, and what does real freedom mean?In this course we explore a pivotal point in the Buddhist path where we have our first taste of real freedom. Traditionally this is called ‘stream entry’ – we enter the stream that leads to the ocean of Enlightenment.At this point we break three fetters that prevent us from entering the stream\, or we could say\, from reaching our full potential. We take a good look at these and see how they play out in our lives\, both individually and collectively\, and we explore ways in which we can loosen\, and eventually break them. \nResources: This course will draw on the booklet “A Taste of Freedom” by Sangharakshita. This booklet is included in the price of your booking. \nLed by Danakumara and team \n \n Watch a video of Danakumara introducing the course
