Spring Rain on Still Waters: Reflecting on the Five Skandhas with Nayaka - Episode 6 Vijnana

Spring Rain on Still Waters is a regular’s retreat, contemplating the Five Skandhas. Watching raindrops fall on still water is a magical experience. It is also one of a number of images the Buddha uses to communicate what it is like to contemplate the nature of our existence through the five skandhas. This retreat, which would have run this week, aimed to take retreatants on a direct and experiential approach to exploring the nature of existence. As this retreat was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are bringing you a series of talks by Nayaka on this theme, all available on our YouTube channel and social media platforms. This is episode 6 - Vijnana

This is part of our online programme. Our online programme offers a rich mix of meditations, talks, and yoga sessions, all for free and online, to offer support through the coronavirus pandemic. This series was filmed mid-April 2020, in week 5 of the programme.

Our practice of the Dharma is vital during these times of uncertainty and suffering. It’s essential to resource and support ourselves and one another through our practice of metta, mindfulness and compassionate connection.

Our programme is completely free to everyone to ensure the support we are sharing is accessible to all. Donations are always welcome, no matter how small,
Thank you so much.
