Listening to our Feelings
Christopher
We refer a lot to listening to our feelings. We find it necessary to take notice of what our feelings are saying about ourselves, another or a situation. Can we rely upon our feelings? What happens if our feelings keep changing? The Buddha referred to purity of heart and purity of intention. Is this a very different priority from listening to our feelings? The Buddha referred to worldly feelings and spiritual feelings, physical sensations and mental feelings, pleasant and painful and in between the two. The workshop will consist of teachings on the theme, sharing in small groups and inquiry into the benefits and limits of feelings.
