SUMMARY:Men's Yatra Day with Candrapriya
DESCRIPTION:Join Candrapriya for a spiritual pilgrimage in the Welsh hills \n\n\n\nA Yatra is a sanskrit word meaning journey\, travel or pilgrimage. All three major branches of Buddhist go on pilgrimage. Travelling from one holy site to another is not just a physical journey from one place to another\, it’s an inward spiritual journey that takes us deeper and deeper. On this Yatra we will be exploring the idea of self\, and using the natural world as the key to unlock how we relate our experience of self and other. \n\n\n\nThe Yatra will be held high in the hill’s just south of the Brecon Beacons national park\, and will last for around six hours. You do not need to be particular fit. There is transport up into the hills\, once there the ground is undulating\, mostly on good tracks but some rougher ground by design. We will walk for no more than an hour at a time then sit for a period. \n\n\n\nWear appropriate clothing and footwear. (Spare socks\, sweater\, warm hat and full waterproofs). Something to sit on\, a poncho is great for sitting in the rain. A packed lunch\, water and a flask. \n\n\n\nOpen to all men who attend the Cardiff Buddhist Centre. Please book a free ticket to confirm your attendance.

SUMMARY:Becoming a Bodhisattva - A Practical Course in Compassion
DESCRIPTION:6 Week Course – Suitable for All \n\n\n\nHow can we look after our own wellbeing while also responding to the suffering of others? That question lies at the heart of the Bodhisattva ideal: seeking Enlightenment not for ourselves alone\, but for the sake of all beings. \n\n\n\nIt’s an ambitious ideal. What can it mean for us\, here and now? \n\n\n\nWithin Buddhism\, the Bodhisattva ideal also lives as myth\, in figures embodying compassion in forms that speak to the imagination. Through meditation and simple ritual\, we’ll explore the quiet magic that lets their qualities begin to awaken in us\, so compassion can become a motivation\, a practice and a source of joy. \n\n\n\nLed by Buddhist teacher Vishvapani\, the course will run for 6 Tuesday evenings\, 7:00-9:00 pm\, starting 10th November. Free bursary tickets are available for anyone who wishes to attend but is unable to afford the event. Suitable for beginners or more experienced members of the sangha.

SUMMARY:Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Death Cafés are part of a global movement “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of our (finite) lives” \n\n\n\nIf you would like to meet in a safe space to discuss your thoughts and feelings about the end of life please join us to meet with others of a like- mind. This is not an occasion to share the grief of recent bereavement but a chance to talk about issues like what kind of a funeral you would like\, where you would like to die\, what you need to do to prepare or anything else you would like to share. Tea\, coffee and cake will be available so we can gather in an ordinary\, friendly environment. The meeting will be facilitated by Gilly Adams\, who is experienced at hosting this kind of event\, with the support of Padmasimha. \n\n\n\nEntrance is free but donations towards the cost of refreshments would be welcome.
