August – Learn the secrets of one of the oldest cultures on Earth: Tibet
Coffee & a Book presents Tibet’s “Voice of the Silence”
Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 8:30pmAll the way from the remote regions of the Tibetan Himalayas, compiled by one of the most outstanding figures of spiritual philosophy, this Eastern classic comes to us packed with the greatest spiritual teachings of all time.
It's all about the path of spiritual evolution.
Before thou takest thy first step learn to discern the real from the false, the ever-fleeting from the everlasting. Learn above all to separate Head-learning from Soul-Wisdom, the "Eye" from the "Heart" doctrine....
The seeds of Wisdom cannot sprout and grow in airless space. To live and reap experience the mind needs breadth and depth and points to draw it towards the Diamond Soul. Seek not those points in Maya's realm; but soar beyond illusions, search the eternal and the changeless SAT, mistrusting fancy's false suggestions.Join us as we explore this mysterious little tome! Coffee and cookies will be served.
For mind is like a mirror; it gathers dust while it reflects. It needs the gentle breezes of Soul-Wisdom to brush away the dust of our illusions. Seek O Beginner, to blend thy Mind and Soul.
Shun ignorance, and likewise shun illusion. Avert thy face from world deceptions; mistrust thy senses, they are false. But within thy body -- the shrine of thy sensations -- seek in the Impersonal for the "eternal man"; and having sought him out, look inward: thou art Buddha.
