Monday Morning Meditation Class
11am-12.15pm
Leading a Life of Wisdom
Mondays June 2, 9, 16, 23
When wisdom is in our hearts, our mind is very clear, confident, and free from disturbing thoughts. Wisdom gives us clarity and insight and, like an inner spiritual guide, helps us to act thoughtfully, skillfully, and meaningfully in daily life. Since all our negative minds are based upon the opposite of wisdom – confusion – everyone needs to develop wisdom.
There is one type of wisdom that, through its realization, will permanently free us from mental pain – the source of our daily unhappiness. This wisdom, called “Emptiness”, is the profound realization that everything in our world exists as a mere appearance to our mind, like a dream. Through “waking up” to this truth, we will discover that the world is not as real as it appears, and this sacred knowledge of emptiness will liberate us from mental anxiety permanently.
“Everything is equal in emptiness and all problems of attachment, anger, and self-grasping ignorance are solved. In this experience everything becomes very peaceful and comfortable, balanced and harmonious, joyful and wonderful.” ~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, How to Transform Your Life
