TEACHINGS

• Understanding Your Mind

Better understand how you view yourself, others and all phenomena. This teaching briefly looks at the mind and the mental factors that apprehend a particular quality of an object that the principal consciousness is perceiving. It is a key to identifying and cultivating positive attitudes that lead to peace and well-being. (We encourage you to attend both sessions but you can book each session separately.)

Over two session, this teaching will summarise the main Buddhist principles and how they apply to daily life. This
knowledge will help you deal with everyday situations and help your meditation. It is said that trying to meditate without a knowledge of the teachings is like being an armless rock climber. (We encourage you to attend both sessions but you can book each session separately.)
