Training in Emptiness

A Guide for Beginners

Emptiness is the word used by Buddha to describe the ultimate nature of reality. It is not a nihilistic nothingness, but rather an experience of freedom from limitation that allows us to let go of our painful ways of relating to ourselves and the world. It is a source of joy, creativity and healing that we can all tap into at any time. Through meditating on emptiness we can quickly become the person we wish to be, and we open ourselves to our potential for complete liberation and enlightenment.

Everybody is welcome to join us for this half-day course in which France will guide us into a practical experience of the meditation on emptiness, and show us how to integrate it into our own daily life. For those wishing to attend the country retreat with Kadam Morten over Labor Day weekend, this primer will be invaluable.
