About this Event

Discover how Buddhist wisdom unravels the deepest illusions shaping your thoughts, emotions, and reality — a journey into the true nature of the mind.


About this Event

Have you ever paused to wonder whether the reality you experience is truly as it seems — or if your mind is quietly shaping the world you believe is “real”?

Join us for a thought-provoking Dhamma talk with Ven. Dr. Mahinda Thero, where timeless Buddhist wisdom meets modern understanding to reveal the mind’s greatest illusion: the stories it creates, the perceptions it fabricates, and the identities it clings to.

This talk invites you to look beyond appearances — to see not just what the mind shows you, but what lies behind it.


What to Expect

Through clear explanations and compassionate guidance, Ven. Dr. Mahinda Thero will help you explore:

✨ How the mind constructs illusions that shape suffering and confusion
✨ How perception filters and distorts experience without our awareness
✨ The path to freedom through seeing the mind as it truly is
✨ Practical steps to cultivate clarity, awareness, and inner peace

This is not just another talk — it’s an inner journey to understand the unseen workings of your mind, why you experience life the way you do, and how to discover the freedom that comes from seeing through the illusion.
