Teaching and PracticeGreen Tara, the embodiment of the holy actions of the Buddhas, gives us the courage to cut through obstacles and quickly develop the positive potential in our minds. Learn how to access Tara through meditation, visualization, mantra recitation and prayer.
Life is constant change. Unable to see the big picture, we suffer because we unceasingly chase, grasp and try to control that which eludes us. We avoid those things that don’t align with our happiness, goals, and pleasure. If we have the courage to investigate our take on reality and see it as mistaken, we create the opportunity to realign our understanding of ourselves and the world around us and to positively meet life head on.
Overwhelmed? Anxious? By examining the components of our fears directly, we can learn how to care for ourselves when feeling overwhelmed and learn how to strengthen our capacity to help others.
WorkshopBy cultivating an awareness of our thoughts and loosening our attachments we create the space to transform our anxieties and helplessness into courage. Engage with practical and realistic ways of dealing with the challenges of our times by working with our minds. Learn how to go deeper into the tools and practices of mindfulness, bodhichitta and wisdom for thecultivation of courage.
