Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism: Finding Inner Peace

Class | Available

Perhaps you, like many of us, have wished for a way to navigate life’s challenges with more ease and genuine happiness. The heart of Buddhist teachings offers just that – a profound path to lasting peace and joy, discovered not by escaping life, but by gently transforming our own minds.

This one-session program explores key Buddhist insights to enrich our lives:

  • Finding Wisdom from Within: Revealing and connecting with our true nature
  • Embracing Impermanence and Emptiness: Discover that all things are constantly changing, including thoughts, emotions, and the sense of self. This understanding empowers us to release attachments and find inner peace amidst life’s fluctuations.
  • Cultivating Compassion: Explore the power of kindness and understanding toward others and yourself, creating a positive effect in the world.
  • Working with Your Mind: Learn practical techniques to work with thoughts and emotions, fostering inner calm and focus.
     

For over 2500 years, the Buddha’s wisdom has guided countless individuals toward peace and understanding. These teachings are not about avoiding life’s difficulties, but about discovering a different way to be with them—one that brings more ease, compassion, and confidence in your ability to handle whatever comes your way. They offer a doorway to deeper peace and understanding, allowing you to accept uncertainty as a source of strength.

  • This class is included in the course “Meditations on Impermanence: The More Things Change.” Do not sign up for “Intro to Buddhism” if you have already signed up for “Meditations on Impermanence.”
