Event

Wednesday Night Talks - Livestream

with Patrick Kearney

January 15 - February 12, 2025
Over four Wednesday nights Patrick will explore the project of insight meditation as understood and practised in the lineage of Mahāsi Sayādaw. The teaching that animates our practice originates in ancient India, while the practice itself comes to us from a very different culture with its own assumptions and ways of communicating. These talks represent an attempt to understand mindfulness meditation and the insight that emerges from it in terms of our own time and culture. The talks are experimental and tentative, and far from a finished project.

Foundations of Buddhism & Meditation

with Danny Taylor

June 6 - 8, 2025
BMIMC & The Buddhist Library (Camperdown)
This integrated process is for people interested in the foundations of Buddhism and its relationship to meditation & life.  It consists of three events, starting with a weekend at BMIMC, and two afternoon (half-day) sessions in Sydney.  Meditation will be central but explored in its Buddhist context as a foundation for living. The format will allow us to experiment with integrating meditation into our everyday lives while appreciating the Buddha’s core messages.  This process is open to complete beginners and more experienced meditators.
