Public Talk ~ Tacoma: Limitless Possibility: Achieving a supremely peaceful mind

Buddha taught that our pain and suffering are rooted in our own mind, in particular, in our misapprehension of how things exist. By grasping at things far too concretely, especially our self, we perceive a world of limitation. We feel that real, lasting happiness is not possible, that we are stuck in our bad habits, and that whatever happiness is possible comes from external things. In this way, we set ourselves up for a life of dissatisfaction.

Buddha’s teachings on the real nature of things, often referred to as ultimate truth or emptiness help us to let go of mistaken limitations and instead to experience a joyful and deeply satisfying world of limitless possibilities. Buddha’s teachings on emptiness are subtle, challenging, invigorating, and profoundly life-changing.

In this public talk, we will be introduced to these profound explorations of reality, so we ca come to see how this wisdom applies practically in our own lives.
