Each
Class, we engage in the following activities:
Chanted Prayers
The essential preliminary practices of accumulating
merit, purifying negativity and receiving Buddha’s blessings
are accomplished through chanting Essence of Good Fortune -
the sadhana of Buddha Shakyamuni. Chanting also helps us to
focus and relax, and improves the quality and power of our speech.
Guided Meditation
This will be on a particular area of the book currently being
covered. It gives us confidence to concentrate, penetrate
the meaning of the text more deeply and improve our technique.
Teaching
This guides us through the Dharma text and brings it to life
for us. We gain the confidence to understand how to draw practical
meaning from Buddha’s words, improving our listening
skills, concentration and wisdom.
Discussion
Clarifies our personal understanding of the meaning of the
text and sharpens our mind with logical reasoning, clarity
and faith. The group discussion is a special opportunity to
listen to others questions and thus deepen our own understand.
Dedication
We dedicate the vast merit we accumulate each week to the
welfare of all living beings and to the attainment of Great
Enlightenment by reciting the mantra of Buddha Shakyamuni
and the dedication verses.
