About this event
“As Long as we have strong attachment we have no mental freedom but are controlled by circumstances, like a puppet on a string.”
’How to Understand the Mind'
~Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Everyone wants to experience mental freedom - an inner state that produces peace and happiness; but this is impossible as long we have strong attachment. In this mini-course based in Buddhist psychology we will explore the wisdom of ‘non-attachment’ and see how to cultivate this wisdom so that we can experience for ourself a profound sense of freedom. Includes guided meditation, a talk and time for Q&A. Everybody Welcome.
