Perfectionism
Saturday, April 23
Half-Day Course
We sometimes set up an all-or-nothing approach to success, feeling that if we are not able to do something perfectly then we are a failure. This is a dangerous mindset because it can lead to excessive self-criticism and discouragement, which blocks our capacity for learning and authentic spiritual growth. Through Buddhist psychology, we can gain insight into this process and learn practical methods that will help us accept who and where we are and make progress towards becoming the person we wish to be.
DETAILS
It is recommended to attend the retreat in its entirety. Each session is guided and will include some teaching on the topic and some guided meditation.

About Our Community
Everyone is welcome
Community is important to us. The way of being at the Center exemplifies how Kadampa Buddhist practices and modern life go hand in hand. We integrate the teachings we receive into the activities and dialogue that make up our Center life. It feels simple, harmonious and easy to enjoy your inner and outer environment.
Our Founder and Spiritual Teacher Geshe Kelsang Gyatso often says, "everyone welcome!" Yes, everyone is welcome to join the Center, its classes, events and practices regardless of faith, ethnicity, gender and so on. We know that everyone benefits from Buddha's teachings and we're delighted to have our doors open to help make that happen.
