Five Buddha Mandala
8-Mar Bodhilila: 'The Buddha of Self-Awareness' In the first talk of our series on the Mandala of five Buddhas, Bodhilila enters the mandala through the eastern gate, where she encounters the blue Buddha Akshobya, whose wisdom is said to be like a perfect mirror. Can we look deeply into ourselves, and understand what makes us tick? What is the significance of the gesture of tapping the earth with his right hand?
Bodhilila has been meditating and practising mindfulness since the 1990s. She is a fully accredited Breathworks mindfulness trainer as well as a qualified counsellor, teacher and massage therapist. She worked for many years as a classical musician and more recently as a nursery manager. She was Chair of the West London Buddhist Centre from 2017 until spring 2024, where she has been teaching meditation, mindfulness and Buddhism, as well as helping to run the Centre, since 2012. She regularly leads retreats for the WLBC and at Taraloka women’s retreat centre.
