SUMMARY:Disillusionment: A Weekend with Dónal Creedon
DESCRIPTION:Disillusionment\nA short excursion into Buddha’s teaching and practice\nWe are happy to be hosting Dónal Creedon at KSDJ for a weekend on the 16 and 17th of November before his month retreat at Tara Rokpa Centre. \n“All is hazard that we have\, There is nothing biding; Days of pleasure are like streams Through fair meadows gliding. Weal and woe\, time doth go\, Time is never turning; Secret fates guide our states\, Both in mirth and mourning.” \nThomas Campion (1567-1620) \nWe will explore the range of Buddha’s teachings which address our human problems in unique and profound ways. We will go from the foundational teaching on suffering\, its sources and resources (!) to teachings on the nature of reality\, consciousness and Buddha nature. Of course\, we need to consider how to live these teachings in the great city of Johannesburg. Suitable for beginners as well as experienced people. \n“When the wise\, well established in virtue\, Develop consciousness and understanding. They succeed in disentangling this tangle”. \nVisuddhimagga \nAbout Dónal Creedon\nDónal Creedon is a Buddhist meditation teacher with many years of experience\, loved and deeply appreciated for his warmth\, openness\, and sincerity. He studied and practiced with Buddhist masters of the Kagyu practice lineage in Europe as well as in India and Nepal. This involved many years of intense retreat. Dónal also spent a number of years at the Krishnamurti Centre in Varanasi as resident Buddhist scholar. Thus the radical inquiry of Krishnamurti informs his approach.In 2017\, he published ‘The Main of Light’\, a study that examines the teachings of J Krishnamurti in the light of Buddhist teachings\, specifically the teachings of the Mahamudra and Dzogchen lineages. The teachings of the Buddha and Krishnamurti both explore the most profound and fundamental questions of human existence. They directly address the questions of sorrow\, fear\, and death\, as well as the deepest meaning a human life can attain beyond the travail and illusion of dualism. They point to the sources of sorrow and the ending of sorrow\, to the possibility of living a life informed by intelligence and compassion. As Dónal says: “It is my hope that this study will serve as a modest contribution to what I feel is an immensely important area of human exploration. I hope it will stimulate questions not only in Buddhist and Krishnamurti students but anyone interested in the deep problems that affect our world so grievously.” \n\nSchedule\nSaturday 16th November  \nMorning \n10.00 to 11.00 teaching \n11.00 to 11.45 tea break \n11.45  to 12.45 session \n12.45  lunch break – Please bring a plate of vegetarian food to share \n  \nAfternoon \n14.00 to 15.00 teaching / meditation \n15.00 to 15.30 tea break \n15.30 to 16.15 Q&A \n  \nSunday 17th November  \nMorning only as above. Concluding at 12.45 \n  \nCost\nA suggested donation of R200 for the weekend. This money goes towards the costs of teacher flights. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds. \nDana for the teacher would be appreciated. \n  \nRSVP\nWhatsApp: +27 62 913 4436 \nEmail: johannesburg@kagyu.org.za
