SUMMARY:In-person: The Dharma of Pleasure
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DESCRIPTION \nThe widespread idea that Buddhism is against pleasure is a misunderstanding. Even whether it is against desire is debatable\, but it is certainly not against feeling good. In fact\, early Buddhism is a form of refined hedonism\, a perspective we have lost sight of\, but which can balance excessively ‘rationalist’ approaches to dharma practice.\n\nAttending to the way things feel (vedanā) without biases\, we can learn to discern what pleasures nourish and brighten us\, which bring us closer to others\, how the pleasant can help gather the mind rather than scatter it\, and how it can become a cause for insight. We will explore this through talks\, meditation practice\, and reflections. \n  \nTEACHER SUPPORT AND EVENT PRICES \nEvents at London Insight are offered in a spirit of generosity. The price you pay goes towards the running of the event but does not include any payment to the teachers for their teaching. Instead our teachers rely on the generosity of participants for their livelihood. Click here for more information on the system of Dana. \n  \nEVENT PRICES \nSponsor: £50 – A voluntary higher rate enabling us to offer supported rate places.\nStandard:  £35\nSupported: £15 – For those unable to afford the standard rate. \nPlease pay the sponsored rate if you can. If you are unable to afford the supported rate please let us know. We try to ensure that no one is turned away because of lack of funds\, providing places are available. \nSome tickets will be available at the venue in the morning of the event (exact cash only).
