It is for those familiar with the Tradition of Serene Reflection Meditation. The Platform Sutra or the Sutra of Hui Neng is a Buddhist scripture composed in China. It is one of the seminal texts in the Chan/Zen schools. It centres on discourses given at Shao Zhou Temple attributed to the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng. Key topics of this discourse are immediate enlightenment, the direct perception of one's true nature and the unity in essence of being free from attachment, non-dualism and wisdom.

7th – 9th May 2010 'Mindfulness: The Development of Practice & Teaching' This workshop is to support people who are using, or wishing to adopt mindfulness based approaches in their work. Developing your own personal practice and teaching mindfulness is a lifetimes work. It is a process, which is never-ending. In Europe there are currently no formal qualifications or certifications which regulate good practice with mindfulness based approaches. This requires each of us working in these fields to inquire deeply into our own practice and to continuously question our own integrity and intentions. To be aware of the boundaries of our skills and to share our understanding is important to the development of good practice. Our intention is to offer two workshops each year for this purpose.
