The Bristol Meditation Group presents - Teachings from a lineage of Enlightened Women

The Aro Bristol Meditation Group meets on Tuesday evenings for talks, teachings and meditation practice. The group is lead by experienced ordained students from the Aro Tradition, and builds quickly from a core set of teachings on the fundamentals of meditation to encompass a broad spectrum of Buddhist meditation practice.

This Autumn, join us for a selection of teachings from a 'Lineage of Enlightened Women'. The Mother Essence Lineage is an all female lineage that traces its roots back to the arrival of Buddhism in Tibet in the 8th Century, but whose teachings are highly pertinent to those living a busy modern lifestyle in the West.

These classes are open to all - those with no experience of meditation, and those with extensive practice; those with no knowledge of Buddhism, and also committed practitioners.

Session three is titled 'Buddhist Sutra - the Song of the Owl Headed Dakini' and explains how Buddhist sutra is pertinent to our everyday lives, without the need to engage directly with monastic renunciation. The Dakini is the enlightened female principle - symbol of wisdom and the primordial perfected state.
