TALK & DIALOGUE (Victoria)

Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion
1070 Tillicum Road, Victoria, BC

The sacred
 
The sacred is at the heart of the religious quest and the deep inquiry at the heart of meditation. It has been the essence of the
religious approach to life and K’s approach is essentially religious. With the onslaught of science and technology and the destruction of both
man and nature, this term has almost disappeared from our vocabulary. But in the context of K’s teachings it signifies the flowering of
wholeness, which is goodness, through the unfolding of journey of self-knowledge as the ground of inward freedom. Do we have a sense of
the sacred? Is there anything sacred in life? Have we ever encountered it? Is it an atavistic religious concept or something of such fundamental
significance that it actually stands as the deepest interest in our lives?

 

A talk on this theme will be followed by dialogue.

 

If you are deeply interested in self-exploration for transformative insight, inner peace and wellbeing, you are welcome to join our dialogue meetings, guided by experienced facilitators passionate about self-inquiry and a shift in consciousness.

 

Our Facilitator: Javier Gomez Rodriguez

Javier was a teacher at Brockwood Park, a school founded by Krishnamurti in England. He later facilitated a Bohmian dialogue group and published several booklets on dialogue. Recently he has been presenting a course offering a comprehensive introduction to Krishnamurti’s life and teachings.

He was one of the main editors of The Link, the magazine published by Krishnamurti Link International (KLI) as an international forum for the study of the teachings.

Javier continues to be associated with KLI and keeps to its agenda of international meetings and responsibilities.

 

As resource we will be using  The Book of Life, a collection of daily meditations by J. Krishnamurti. It is available online and from us at cost for $20.

The Book of Life e-book is also freely available here and looking it over for questions to further explore in our meetings is recommended.

Meetings are held on a donation basis.  Your donation can be made here .

They will be held in the Boardroom of the Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion.  The Pavilion is located in this beautiful park, next to a Japanese Garden.

 

Enter from Tillicum Road. There is ample parking next to the Pavilion.

Or take #26 bus to Tillicum at Gorge Bridge stop, with a 5 minute walk from there to the Pavilion.
