With Vajragupta and Team
Suitable for all
Gain and Loss
Praise and Blame

Pleasure and Pain
How do we really get on in this world? Tossed around by gain, buffeted by loss, carried high by praise, cast down by blame, how can we not be ground under, lose all direction, confidence, and sense of purpose?
This course, based on Vajragupta’s hugely popular book Sailing the Worldly Winds, explores the Buddha’s compassionate yet uncompromising teaching on how to stand firm in the face of suffering, greed and hatred.
Using reflections, exercises and suggestions for daily practice, this course can help you find greater equanimity and perspective in the ups and downs – big and small – of everyday life. This course runs simultaneously at two levels: one level for newcomers, and one for those with more experience. Click the booking link for details!
