After decades of travel, I have decided to end my intercontinental flights - Australia, India and Israel. Am 77 next month. Like many of you, I have spent the past year mostly at home. There is a quiet enjoyment of the solitude of home. Online communications continue. I have informed the centres/monastery in the above three countries.

SanghaLive - ONLINE DHARMA TALK
19.00 – 20.30 UK time Sunday 23 May, 2021
23 May 2020
Is there Compassion for the self? Is Compassion the end of self?
It has been said often enough that the Dharma flies with two wings - compassion and wisdom.
Compassion emerges from a liberated wisdom. That happens when constructs in the mind lose their significance, especially self and dependency on feelings tones.
This talk will explore the contraction of compassion into self interest.
The liberation of compassion reveals the dissolution of 'I' and 'my.'
The teachings will offer reminder of the meaning of 'acting out of compassion.'
Session includes a guided meditation, talk and Q and A.
Live. All are welcome. Go to website to view, plus mediation/q and a.
