Fairfield House

Fairfield House A living sanctuary where history, nature, creativity, and community meet. It is, in so many ways, close to the very heart of Nelson.
(1)

Nestled in seven acres of beautiful woodlands and gardens, Fairfield House is one of Nelson's most prestigious historic homes. Its spacious verandas and unique observation tower have gracefully overlooked the city since 1872. Now, lovingly restored to its former glory, Fairfield House stands as a unique tribute to community activism. Fairfield was blessed as a place of peace by His Holiness The Da

lai Lama when he visited here in 1996. Today, this unique heritage building is available for hire as the perfect venue for any occasion. Its beauty, warmth and grandeur are yours to enjoy. Make your event a success at Fairfield House!

Coming up at Fairfield House: Zen Buddhist Talk

Friday 10 July
7-8.30pm
Entry by koha

Most people, at their core, are caring, kind and want to help others. This is compassion in Buddhism; to actively work to alleviate the suffering of others. However, because of our self-clinging, false views and attachments we don’t always feel and act this way. And even when our hearts are open, we can feel stuck by others’ unwillingness or lack of capacity to change. We can feel overwhelmed by situations we want to change but have little ability to do so.

This evening talk and discussion will explore Buddhist practices for both cultivating loving kindness within ourselves and directing this to others. Drawing from the Buddha’s enlightened understanding of the power of mind, we always have the ability to reach out to others through such practices, even to those we will never meet. In this way, the mind and world is transformed.
