The Teachings of Bede Griffiths
In May we have a wonderful retreat hosted by David Cole of Waymark Ministries, looking at the life and teachings of Bede Griffiths.
Bede Griffiths was a British-born Oxford-educated Benedictine monk who spent the second half of his life living in the ashrams of India. Because of this, by the end of his life, he was known by yet a third name, Swami Dayananda, i.e., the Bliss of Compassion.
In Bede Griffiths’ words, discovering God means discovering oneself. Turn that around, and you realize that you can reach God by merely trying to find who you are.
