Preparatory reading…helpful for those taking vows in this weekend’s teaching and for January.

Maybe you’ve already noticed the supportive reading which has been suggested on this page of Simplybeing.co.uk …but I’m signposting it here just in case you’ve missed it…or like me have a tendency to leave things ’til the last minute!

There is quite a bit to engage with and digest offered on that page… and, for me anyway, a quick read though is not going to be satisfying. Slow reading with a cup or two of tea and time for meditation on the meaning will be more illuminating of the profundity of the practice.
And, if you like to listen… vows and supplementary commentary are available from the book and in the audios of the book Longing for Limitless Light.

So hopefully you’ll have time to ‘take your time’… as the lovely Irish saying goes…

P.S. If it’s new to you… the beautiful first section of Refuge and Bodhicitta is found in Santideva’s writing – The Bodhicaryavatara.

Longing for Limitless Light – C.R.Lama and James Low. New audio recordings 11-18

Sun-setting Dartmoor

Scroll down to the bottom of this page to find the additional recordings from the book…or find them from audio/video in the headers on the front page of the site.

If you are interested, these recordings may speak for themselves… but James’ explanations, in this video which you might have missed, expand their depth.
Video of the book launch of The Healing Power of Emptiness translated into Portuguese.

If you are interested in the Refuge and Bohicitta vows more information will be available on the simplybeing.co.uk website shortly.
In the meantime you may find this video and the recordings from Longing for Limitless Light helpful in seeing how they fit with the view and practice in every day life…as James further elucidates the relationship between the Bodhisattva intention, emptiness, and the Repelling all troubles practice which you can find from this page.

The photo above was taken on the afternoon of completing a contribution to the Earth Healing Groups’ lovely activities. If you’d like to know more about check this link. There’s also information on making Tsa-tsa on the main website…

Let me know if you can’t find it…no doubt you’ll find something else interesting along the way : )
