The Liberating Truth That Pervades Everything

How to Meditate on Emptiness, the True Nature of Things

If we understood reality all our problems would be over and our lives would be pervaded by joy, connection and incredible meaning. Why? Because the true nature of everything, as revealed by Buddha is emptiness. Initially that doesn’t sound encouraging. But emptiness means that the faults and limitations that we see in ourselves, each other, and our world, and that causes us so much unhappiness, actually aren’t really there. They depend upon the mind, which means we can become liberated from them. Obviously, understanding this will require more explanation as well as investigation through meditation.

During this course, Kadam Lucy will introduce us to this liberating insight and show us how we can begin to explore this most profound wisdom for ourselves in meditation. There will be the opportunity for Q&A throughout the day.
