What is the single most important point that must be understood by a person who wants to know?

A series of themed explorations on the Way of Love

Dates: The 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month from 8 April to 8 July, 2018
Venue: The Library, The Salisbury Centre, 2 Salisbury Road, Edinburgh EH16 2AB

 

Course Description

Each session will incorporate study, meditation and group discussion, allowing all the participants to share their experiences and their insights.

Although each session is complete in itself, attending more sessions may help to develop a deeper awareness of the single most important point in relation to the five qualities of the Way – trust, certainty, patience, resolution, and veracity.

Everyone is invited to develop their own understanding of the question posed by the series title, and of the course materials.

Two facilitators will guide and support the course participants in their understanding of the content and its relevance to their lives.

This course is supported and sponsored by The Beshara Trust.
