**Sundays @ AKBC**
This is a continuation of ‘Transforming Pain into the Spiritual Path’. Buddhist teachings explain that our suffering comes about due to uncontrolled and painful states of mind known as delusions.
Each week we will continue to focus on how to deal with a particular delusion, among them – desirous attachment, jealousy, lonliness, distraction, low self- esteem … Learning practical methods to reduce the power of these delusions will allow us to experience a deep and satisfying emotional freedom, and give us skill to be the person we wish to be – positive, joyful, confident and loving. We will learn how to identify each delusion, and learn the opponent to each.
Each week includes Guided meditation, a talk, discussion & questions.
Everyone welcome!

**NEW Thursday Series Starts This Week**
The Lamrim instructions were compiled by the great Indian Buddhist Master Atisha, who was invited to Tibet by King Jangchub Ö in AD 1042, and who spent the rest of his life there spreading pure Dharma.
There is a completely pure and unbroken lineage of these Lamrim instructions from Buddha Shakyamuni up to our present day Spiritual Guides.
The instructions of Lamrim are easy to understand and practice, and can readily be applied to solving the problems of daily life. If we gain deep experience of Lamrim there will be no basis for these problems; we shall be completely free from all of them.
By joyfully and patiently doing these meditations we shall gradually experience the fruits of Lamrim practice.
Eventually we shall attain freedom from all suffering and the unchanging peace and happiness of enlightenment.
