Brahmaviharas: Mudita and the 7 Rs

Speaker: Doug Kraft (Joining online from California, USA)

Wed 12 Jul | 7-8.30pm AEST

Location: In person at Metta Centre (Bankstown) or Online (Zoom link below)

Cost: Free

Mudita is the spontaneous joy that arises within us upon seeing the wellbeing of others. Without this capacity we are BINOs (Buddhist in Name Only). It is gentle but shapes how we relate to the world outside of meditation. The 7 Rs add an additional step added to the familiar 6Rs. They become: Recognize, Release, Relax, ReSmile, Reflect, Respond, Repeat. 

About the speaker: Doug Kraft is a meditation teacher, psychotherapist, Unitarian Universalist minister, and grandpa. He has been deeply engaged in Buddhist meditation for over a half century and has written a number of books on the topic. He lives in northern California with his wife and cat.
