This month we will unpack our ideas of what we understand by the term “faith,” and study teachings on ‘the three types of faith’, vivid, eager and confident. Reflecting on our eagerness for transformation, we’ll explore what that will look like for us in terms of our personal practice. This month’s live teaching is by Rigpa senior teacher Jan van der Breggen, titled ‘Cultivating Confidence: Exploring the three types of faith on our spiritual path.’
Taking Refuge - Part 1. Taking Refuge is the foundation of the buddhist path; it is the demarcation between samsara and the path to liberation and enlightenment. It is the mind that aspires for wisdom leaving behind all the delusions and habitual tendencies that pull us back into samsara. Ultimately, taking refuge is abiding within the undeterred confidence of our own buddha nature, the awakened mind. This month’s live teaching, ‘What is the entranceway to awakening?’ by Rigpa senior teacher Dominique Side.
