Finding a Safe Haven through Enlightened Connection

This class is offered in person only

Once we know how to find our way to internal peace, we have a powerful point of connection to enlightened peace. In this series, we will continue to look at and practice the meditations for tapping into and deeply acquainting ourselves with the vast peace within our own mind—our own Buddha nature—and through this with a powerful source of peace and protection that moves well beyond ourselves alone. When we know how to connect with our own and others’ peaceful hearts, we have a vibrant, communal safe haven in which we experience a calm yet powerful optimism— a joy—which we can then bring to others and to our world.

April 22: Finding Our Way to Inner Peace
April 29: Our Pure Potential
May 6: The Pure Potential of Others
May 13: Understanding Enlightenment
May 20: Connecting with Enlightened Peace
May 27: The Power of Blessings

How to Let Go of Painful Emotions

In Buddhism, painful emotions are known as ‘delusions’. They are called this precisely because when we are experiencing them our perceptions are distorted. Under their influence we see things incorrectly and act inappropriately. These deluded minds, eg. anger, desirous attachment, jealousy, and deluded pride, are completely unreliable states of mind. Don't trust them! They are guaranteed to create unhappiness for ourself and others. This is why we need to learn skillful methods for recognizing them and letting them go.
In this series we will continue to train in the meditation on the clarity of the mind to help us let go of painful emotions. We will also learn to apply special opponent minds for directly combatting each delusion. How much happier our life will be if we are no longer held captive by these painful emotions!
