26 to 31 May 2024 |
The world we live in is experiencing great changes. Dissatisfaction seems to be at an all-time high. Fear and anger drives much of our decision making. Greed, intolerance and self-interest seem to be more prevalent than ever.
Over five days, Tenzin Choden will introduce the 'Graded Path to Enlightenment', one of the foundational texts of Tibetan Buddhsm. Buddhism in general provides tools to understand our mind, how the negative thoughts and feelings arise, and how to counter them. She will introduce methods that help you to let go of these habits. By developing a more positive, kind and patient attitude in your daily life, you can be of the most benefit to those around you, and make your life more meaningful.
