Purifying Negativity: Overcoming Inner Obstacles
This is an in-person event with livestream attendance available for members!
Buddha taught that our mind creates our experience of everything, and due to negativity in our mind we experience problems and suffering. Through his understanding of how karma functions, Buddha taught several methods to purify negativity within our mind. Through engaging in these simple, but profound practices, we can remove the causes of our future problems and suffering, as well as obstacles to our spiritual practice. Through purifying the negativity within our mind we will gradually become happier and happier, our good qualities will increase, and all our mental and physical problems will gradually disappear. Come and enjoy this Friday Night Talk about overcoming our inner obstacles.
You will also learn about the weekend Compassion and Fasting Retreat and decide if you would like to participate. (Saturday will not be livestreamed.)
Everyone welcome!
