'Visionary Pilgrimage: Journeying through a Buddhist Scripture'

I delivered a workshop at this year's Buddhafield Festival which explored how a Buddhist scripture may engage our imagination by drawing us into a ‘vision-world’ in which we become not simply readers but participants, enabling us to grasp spiritual truths through luminous images.

I focused specifically on the Vimalakirti Sutra as an example and guided participants through a series of visualisations to evoke the atmosphere of this Mahayana Sutra. The workshop culminated in participants receiving an individual teaching from the great bodhisattva Vimalakirti.

I intend to present similar workshops at the Manchester Buddhist Centre, the London Buddhist Centre, and possibly elsewhere. Details to follow.
