When we meet, after a period of meditation, we are discussing elements of writing in the tradition we follow. Reading out a couple of sentences then reflecting on these and what they can mean in our daily lives.
Currently we are working our way through "Rules for Meditation". We are at:
It is no more possible to understand natural activity with the judgemental mind than it is possible to understand the signs of enlightenment; nor is it possible to understand training and enlightenment by supernatural means; such understanding is outside the realm of speech and vision, such Truth is beyond personal opinions. Do not discuss the wise and the ignorant, there is only one thing—to train hard for this is true enlightenment; training and enlightenment are naturally undefiled; to live in this way is the same as to live an ordinary daily life. The Buddha Seal has been preserved by both the Buddhas in the present world and by those in the world of the Indian and Chinese Ancestors, they are thus always spreading the Truth—all activity is permeated with pure meditation—the means of training are thousandfold but pure meditation must be done.
We will be joining with Rev Leoma from Norwich Buddhist Priory in the evening of November 3rd.
