Thursday 31st October 2024, 7:30pm to 9pm GMT on Zoom, open to any Order Member

The Three Levels of Wisdom is a well known teaching in Triratna, while Direct Pointing has emerged much more recently. How do these approaches relate to one another?

In this forum we will be exploring the strengths and potential weaknesses of each method with the aim of reaching a clearer understanding of the path to insight . Here are some questions we intend to engage with:

  • Is Direct Pointing a completely separate approach from Listening, Reflecting and Meditating, or are they complimentary or even aspects of the same process?
  • Can people engaged in Direct Pointing benefit from considering the Three Levels of Wisdom?
  • Is there a place for Direct Pointing in the path mapped out by the Three Levels of Wisdom?
  • Can the traditional practice of Listening, Reflecting and Meditating, lead to transformational insight without inquiry or Direct Pointing?
  • Can we really do without meditation on the path to insight?
  • Do we invariably need a mentor?
  • How can we draw on the strengths of both methods?
