Parents, who love the Dharma, need to see the emptiness of two views haunting mothers and fathers for centuries.

1. The ordained Sangha (monks/nuns) have the best opportunity to realise an awakened life.
2. I (mother or father) find it hard to find time to practice because it takes such effort with the kid(s).

The Buddhist tradition has perpetuated these views forgetting the enslavement to the caste system and family duties 2600 years ago. Freedom includes love, service and deep discoveries about our humanity,

What is the role of a parent? To wake up.

It is irresponsible if we believe parental responsibilities obstruct waking up.

The role of the parent, or any other role, arises when children are in front of one or you engage in the action on their behalf.

The Sangha of Practitioners consist of parents and non-parents, ordained, nomadic and householders. Let us mutually support each other.

In his role as a spiritual seeker, Prince Gautama neglected the first six years of his son’s life. He never even bothered to visit him. Within weeks after his awakening, the Buddha became a dedicated father. Wisdom brings responsibility.

In this session, we will be joined by Christopher Titmuss, an senior Dharma teacher and Buddhist author. His teenage granddaughter 16, has been living with him since the summer of 2021 and plans to stay until university,

This is an opportunity for shared reflection, and guidance. Please bring your questions/concerns and share your issues around parenting/grandparenting.

Non-parents are welcome. What do you have to offer parents whether a single parent, co-parent (separate homes) or mother/father living together.

The event is open to all who are involved in raising and mentoring kids and younger people whether you are a parent (or thinking about becoming one!), grandparent, aunt, uncle, friend, teacher, therapist and more.

This event will be hosted by Sangha Live, within “Sangha Live Connect,” their free-to-join Dharma community.

All are welcome!

  2. Energy. Physical/mental/emotional energy has a significant influence upon us – whether high, low or between. 
  3. Mindfulness includes the ability to observe, to remember and see clearly
  4. Concentration/Unification of Mind. Concentration includes the capacity to stay focused on what matters/harmony/well-being
  5. Wisdom. Wisdom means to understand. Understanding means dissolution of suffering, of problematic issues
