| The Old Man Tree at Canyonleigh—May 2009 |
The aim this weekend is to present some of the key teachings of the Gita focusing especially on its background metaphysics; and to try to arrive at our own understanding of these teachings, not necessarily based on anyone else’s interpretation. Sessions will cover an introduction to the Gita and our approach to it; the dharma teaching; the ideal of human perfection in the Gita; the relative merits of desire and desirelessness; and Deep Ecology, which movement drew a great deal of inspiration from the Gita.
Presenter: Dr Dara Tatray
