About this Event

SATURDAY 23 MAY

10AM - 1PM


In person | livestream to members
with Resident Teacher, Gen Kunden

The practice of taking and giving is a powerful method for deepening our love, compassion and wisdom. It enables us to transform the adversity we encounter in the world into powerful causes of compassion and wisdom; develop the good heart of a Bodhisattva; gain practical experience of emptiness, the true nature of reality; and even heal physical illness.

This practice also purifies our non-virtues and delusions, especially our self-cherishing, and makes our love and compassion very strong. Through gradual training, our meditation on taking and giving will become so powerful that we will develop the ability directly to take on the suffering of others and give them happiness.

Join Resident Teacher, Gen Kunden and gain a deep experience of the powerful healing practice of taking and giving through receiving teachings and guided meditations. Everyone welcome.

Each session will consist of short teachings, prayers and meditations with refreshments between sessions.


$25. Includes refreshments. Free for members
