Study on Milarepa and Bhante's Commentary (At Home Order weekend - online)

Led by Saddhanandi, Dhammarati and Saddhaloka

I cut my boots from the hide of the renunciation of Samsara
And with the leather of awakening from transciency and delusion.
I made my boots with the craftsmanship of deep faith in Karma,
With the dye of Non-clinging to the Myriad Forms,
And with the thread and rope of Devotion;

Bhante: To give up the untrustworthy protection offered by self-interest, to awaken to absolute insecurity, to accept that your unskilful actions of the past will have unforeseen consequences, these are the hard tasks of the spiritual life. But at some point one has to put these boots on.

Our Dharma practice is not usually sustained by a lot of detailed information, it is sustained and taken further by a few chance words that we read in a text, or in a commentary, or hear as we wait at the tea-counter in our Buddhist centre: words that for a brief moment leave us more ‘awake’ and that continue to transform our lives over the following years.

In this short ‘at home’ retreat, we’ll endeavour to bring to life some words of Milarepa and of Bhante, and in the company of fellow order members, share a deeper understanding of the text, of Milarepa’s perspective and of the implications of these teachings.

This event will be hosted via Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent out via email shortly before the event. You can view the full online programme [link url=https://adhisthana.org/at-home-weekend-retreat-programme]here[/link].
