Finding Peace in Times of Turmoil with Ven. Lozang Tsultrim

The Four Thoughts that turn the mind toward peace and away from the constant cycle of craving are a fundamental part of our Dharma practice. Without deepening our understanding of these, it is difficult to make substantial progress on our journey towards finding our own Buddha nature.

This weekend will use meditation and mindfulness to help us develop a deeper and more personal understanding of our Precious Human Rebirth, Impermanence, Karma - the Law of Cause and Effect, and the suffering of ourselves and others.

Through this process, not only will our Dharma practice deepen, but our awareness of our interconnectedness to others and our world will be enhanced. This weekend will show us how to invite peace into our hearts despite the challenges our lives and the world present to us.

Everyone is welcome and this course is suitable for those who are new to Buddhism.

Saturday 17th March 9.00 am - Sunday 18th March 4.30 pm held in the Gompa at Chenrezig Institute. Facility fee $108.  10% discount for members and concession card holders. Accommodation and meals available separately.

Ven. Tsultrim is a counsellor with a Masters of International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution. She works with people at risk of suicide, their family and friends.
