    Extract from James Low's "The flow of transmission and the transmission of flow" teachings in Macclesfield, on June 1st, 2nd and 3rd 2007. James talks about how in the Buddhist context, what is being transmitted is not cognitive knowledge— a body of facts that make us knowledgeable about something—but rather the possibility of a different way of being so that we find ourselves more at ease. The one who is doing the transmitting should transmit from a state of ease, the transmission itself should flow as easy as possible, and the reception of it should also be with ease. So, how do we become easy in order to receive? 📱 Instagram of excerpts: instagram.com/simplybeingsangha 🎧 Poscasts of some teachings: simplybeing.co.uk/news/podcasts/ 📆 Learn more about future events: simplybeing.co.uk/events/

    Book "Me first!" (DE - German)

    Getting lost is easy, especially if we are sure that we are right. Trusting our thoughts and feelings, we act decisively and strongly and find out much later that we have gone blindly astray without realising that we were so wrong. This story shows both the havoc created by the selfish entitlement that proclaims, “Me first!” and the many faces of kindness the Buddhas manifested to tidy up the mess. Search for "Me first! James Low" on the Amazon website for your desired country. The original Tibetan account explaining why the Buddhas had to manifest wrathful forms is translated in the book "This Is It" by James Low, (Simply Being, 2020, ISBN 978 0 9569239 8 1). See chapter 4, "Getting Lost Invites Trouble".
