Study Meeting Recap

Mike Aiken gave an excellent presentation at our study meeting last Friday. A highlight of the discussion was the concept that we should continually develop ourselves, that we should feel that nothing is beyond our attainment. We often limit ourselves through lack of focus and self-doubt - we're our own worst enemy so to speak.

Study Material

‘The Object of Worship for Observing the Mind’ in the September Living Buddhism has been confirmed by Michael Aiken as the material for Friday’s study meeting. See you at Kinuko’s this Friday.
