The Voyage Begins
“What goes around comes around”, “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”, “do unto others as you would have done unto you”.
These commonly used phrases often help us makes sense of the world and inform our moral imperative. But sometimes, it is hard for us to make sense of what we consider to be senseless suffering, tragedy and injustice.
Young Jains are hosting the 8th International Convention entitled “Voyage to Freedom: Crossing the Ocean” on Friday 27th to Sunday 29th August 2010.
As the ship of your life fills with water, we will show you how to empty it so you can safely cross the ocean. As your spritual home fills with the dust of karma, we will show you how to close the windows and doors that invite karma in. In your journey through the sands of time, your feet attract this sand, sticking to you for ages, delaying your journey – we will show how to ensure that less sticks and it sticks for less time.
You are invited to take time out and immerse yourself in the fun learning of Jain ideas and philosophy.
The weekend is also a real opportunity for you to meet like-minded people.
Voyage to Freedom, the 2010 Convention will deliver these insights in an easily accessible way so that you will be able to understand and apply them to enhance both your immediate practical life and your long-term need for spiritual fulfillment.
Using modern techniques, interactive workshops, music, story telling, and so many other media, Young Jains will share with you the Law of Karma as described in the timeless tradition, authenticated by scripture and saints, in a way which will impact you here and now, with contemporary relevance.
You will learn the framework of the Tattvas which will empower you to be genuinely forgiving, motivate your spiritual quest, and impact your immediate moral needs.
The event is being delivered by Jains just like you, who have spent the last year learning and imbibing the messages and truths of the Jain faith in their life. There will also be a panel of Jain leaders from a variety of backgrounds.
If you know Young Jains, then you know how much you will gain. If you do not, then come and see how we deliver eternal truth in a contemporary way. The method may be fresh, innovative and young, but it will add value to delegates of all ages and experiences, as many have testified.
