“Waking up is not a selfish pursuit of happiness, it is a revolutionary
stance, from the inside out, for the benefit of all beings in existence.”
― Noah Levine

We are very fortunate to be welcoming an esteemed dharma teacher to Brisbane on 23 Feb, one who is both internationally recognized and also a “local” girl – well, local to New Zealand, at least! Please find the Insight Dialogue workshop full flyer for Jill Shepherd’s daylong workshop on the relational meditation practice of Insight Dialogue, to be held at Bodhi Chan Meditation Centre.
About Insight Dialogue
Insight Dialogue is an interpersonal meditation practice that brings the mindfulness and tranquility of silent meditation into our
experience with others. Resting on the foundation of traditional Buddhist teachings, this offers a way to integrate wisdom and
compassion into our relational lives through mindful speaking and mindful listening.
In this workshop, we will use the power of relational meditation practice to understand the habits of heart and mind that lead to
stress and distress, and how to free ourselves so we can live together with greater ease and happiness. Working in pairs, we will
explore the guidelines of Insight Dialogue and classical Buddhist teachings on Wise Speech.

This talk will introduce the Buddha’s central teaching, that of dependent arising (paticcasamuppada). We begin with the Buddha’s concept of dharma, a naturalistic view of the world that is grounded on human experience and is not interested in anything beyond the realm of the human. Dependent arising takes a systems view of the world, where reality is found in relationships rather than the things and understanding these relationships gives us the key to living a fully satisfying life.
