Engaging Wise Intention to Navigate World of Change- Explore meeting the unknown using relational Insight Dialogue meditation
7th November
In person
In Buddhism, ‘wise intention’ involves cultivating a mindset of renunciation (letting go), goodwill and non-harm. It is the underlying motivation behind our thoughts, words, and actions. It is vital for reducing suffering by counteracting greed, hatred, and delusion – the delusion that we are individuals separate from the web of life and that our actions have no consequences. Wise intention acts as a compass, guiding our choices and aligning our efforts towards the goal of freedom and inner peace.
Insight Dialogue is an interpersonal meditation practice rooted in the early Buddhist teachings that bring together meditative awareness, Buddhist teachings and relationship to self, other, community and world, to understand and reduce suffering. Six relational meditative guidelines support you to investigate aspects of the Buddhas teachings with a partner or in small groups.
Embodied practice and meditational inquiries on practical, daily life challenges are emphasised. This can enhance our approach to life and daily interactions, creating opportunities for greater ease.
