Truth: What Is & Is Not Real?
with Gen Kelsang Wangmo
Thurs 20 Apr | 7-8.15pm | 8.15-9pm Refreshments | £10 | Members Free
How do we know what is true and what is false? Do our senses reveal the world as it really is? Or do we only ever relate to a subjective version of reality, mediated by our own projections and biases?
In today’s ‘post-truth’ era it seems harder than ever to arrive at a definitive account of what is real. But never before has there been such a need to discover a shared human truth.
In this special Thursday evening lecture, Kadampa Buddhist nun Gen Kelsang Wangmo will explore Buddha’s teachings on the nature of reality, and present practical methods for applying these insights to our daily life.
Drinks and refreshments will be available in our world peace cafe following the lecture
Everyone welcome.
