Intro Class
Basic Buddhist Teachings & Meditations: Abandoning the Eight Worldly Concerns
Wednesday Nights beginning February 18
Attachment to being praised by others leads to despondency when our best efforts go unnoticed — and the fear of losing our high status haunts us even when things are coming up roses! This is how “worldly concerns” steal our happiness and lead us to anxiety and other unhealthy states of mind.
When our mind becomes tight, unhappy, or uncomfortable, that’s a sign that we are under the sway of one of the eight worldly concerns. This series of meditation classes will offer a peek into Buddha’s teachings on identifying and reducing the influence of these attitudes on our mind, so our mind can remain happy, calm, and untroubled by life’s ups and downs.
This class begins with a guided breathing meditation and culminates with a 2nd meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Everyone is welcome.
