camerata Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Movie date: Sat 18th July by Cittasamvaro Movie date: Life After Life??? Here’s the sticky point for many Westerners. Buddhism teaches that there is rebirth, that one revolves in Samsara from life to life, birth to death, over and over. For some reason this one point is something that Westerner’s find hard to swallow. Yet not only is it a real part of the teaching, but it is central to ‘Right View’. Just for fun, we will be looking at these questions – all opinions are allowed. * New (or Old) Age nonsense ? * What is the difference between reincarnation and rebirth? * What is it that is reborn? * Are you really supposed to believe in rebirth? * What influences your rebirth destination? Life After Life Lunch and movie at the Tai Pan hotel, Suk 23 Saturday 18th July Details at Littlebang. And... Every Thursday evening from August 6 to Sept 24 Special Dhamma Talk and meditation program with British monk Phra Cittasamvaro. Free of charge naturally. Details to be announced.
