Coming up in February… The Emptiness of Identity

The Confidence to Become Who You Wish to Be

Feb 1 The Emptiness of Identity- Public Talk
Feb 8 Embrace the Reality of Impermanence
Feb 15 Tune Into the Endless Space of Emptiness
Feb 22 Create the Person You Wish to Be
March 1 Become the Person the World Needs You to Be
March 8 The Four Powers of Change

Who we are is not fixed. In fact, Buddha explained that our sense of self depends upon many different factors, principally our own mind.

As the world changes around us, sometimes in scary and unsettling ways, now more than ever we need the confidence to embrace the forces of change and channel them in a positive direction.

Through meditating on subtle impermanence, we can let go of the past and open ourselves up to the possibility of real change that lies before us.

Through meditating on the true nature of reality, emptiness, we let go of the ordinary, limited self we currently relate to, and access a space of possibility, creativity and joy.

During this course, we will gain first-hand experience of the power of these precious meditations to transform our life so that we can bring real benefit to ourselves and others.

Coming up in March… How Not to Stress

March 15 How Not to Stress – Public Talk
March 22 Accept & Work With Adversity
March 29 These Feelings Are Not Me
April 5 Put It In Perspective
April 12 Protection Through Compassion
April 19 What Can Provide Ultimate Protection?

In this course you will learn:
The psychology of stress
Simple breathing meditations
How to re-frame problems with wisdom
The role of compassion in de-stressing
How to rely on Buddha, Dharma & Sangha

No matter our life circumstances, we all experience stress and anxiety sometimes, or maybe often.

In this series of classes, we will explore Buddhist wisdom that can change our perspective on life and can enable us to reduce and finally eliminate the stressors of life. By applying this advice in our daily life we can come to enjoy peace of mind.

During this series of meditation classes, you will learn Buddhist meditations and ways of thinking that will help you to completely transform your ordinary response to difficult situations. Instead of being controlled by your mind, learn how to control your mind.

According to Buddha, stress comes from the mind. This is wonderful news! It means with the right techniques we can learn to control our mind in order to eradicate all stress from our lives. Buddhist meditation teaches us how we can do this.

Through understanding Buddha’s profound insights into the mind, we will uncover where our stressful response comes from, and discover how we can let go of that mistaken perception and instead respond skillfully and peacefully. This advice is more relevant now than ever!

Everyone is welcome.
