About the Retreat
‘A Practical Exploration of The Two Truths’ with Martin Kerrigan and Sara Szwer.
We will look at the Buddhist teachings on the relationship between selflessness and the interdependent nature of reality, and particularly how the teachings on wisdom and compassion help to affirm and support each other.
Through a combination of presentation, discussion and meditation we will explore how we can more fully align our hearts and minds with that selfless and interdependent nature, helping us to overcome our own problems and difficulties, and also putting us in a better position to truly benefit others.
The Buddhist teaching on ‘The Two Truths’, i.e. ultimate and relative/conventional truth, is the gateway to understanding the often misunderstood philosophy of selflessness.
Although due to singing, playing music, and crying Sounds of echoes arise, The echo does not reside in the sounds. Just so you must comprehend all phenomena’ King of Concentration Sutra.
