4-Class Meditation Series: Understanding the Mind (Wed Mornings)
About this Event
"Happiness and suffering are feelings – parts of our mind – and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind. If we really want to be truly happy and free from suffering we must improve our understanding of the mind."
– Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
We often say, "My mind, my mind," but if someone were to ask us, "What is your mind?" we would likely find it quite difficult to answer. Yet, because happiness and suffering are states of mind, understanding our mind is essential if we want to find the lasting peace we seek.
During this series of classes we will explore Buddhist insights into the nature, function and power of the mind, and gain practical meditative experience on the conventional nature of the mind. As we learn to navigate the intricacies of our mind, we'll gain the tools to foster lasting peace and happiness amidst life's turbulence.
Topics covered will include:
- What is the mind?
- How to meditate on the mind itself, and the insights this brings
- How the way things appear to us depends upon our mind
- How changing our own mental attitude changes whether a situation is good or bad
- How to cultivate new, positive ways of looking at our world
No prior experience or particular religious beliefs are necessary to attend this series – everyone is welcome!
