Special guest Teacher, Gen Rinzin from KMC Washington in Seattle is visiting Vancouver to teach this course. The Wheel of Life is a famous diagram drawn by Buddha Shakyamuni that teaches the complete path to enlightenment. Its vivid imagery helps us understand why we experience the sufferings and problems that we do, and how we can permanently break free from these. It includes illustrations of the Twelve-Dependent Related Links, a chain-like series of cause and effect that reveals the way in which we are caught up in a cycle of suffering.
In this course Gen Rinzin will give a practical and contemplative tour of the Wheel of Life and show how we can use this diagram to inspire our meditations and guide ourselves along the spiritual path.
Everyone is welcome to attend; no previous knowledge of these teachings is required. This special course is ideal for visual learners and those who enjoy imagery as a source of inspiration and learning.
Following the course, we will show a movie, a video of the play The Wheel of Life, which tells the story of the life of King Bimbisara, a friend and contemporary of Buddha, and how the diagram of the Wheel of Life came to be drawn. This will run from 4:15pm-6:45pm
