The Buddha was born under a tree, and enlightened under a tree. He taught under trees in the forest, and died under two trees. And yet, the opportunity to connect with Buddha, Dharma and Sangha in wild spaces, beneath the soothing energy of trees, can sometimes feel rare. Together we will meditate and share our favourite Buddhist teachings with each other, be they traditional sutras or passages from our favourite dharma books. We will cook together, collect firewood together. We will walk silently and mindfully in open green spaces, looking over the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders. We will watch the river flow, contemplating our impermanence.
