How to Understand the Mind
Tuesdays 7-8.15pm ~ Online
12, 19, 26 Jan & 2 Feb
‘We often say “My mind, my mind” but if someone asks us “What is your mind?” we would be hard pushed to answer.
As happiness and suffering are states of mind, if we are to find the happiness we seek an understanding of our mind is essential. Through learning how our mind works, we can begin to bring our mind under control, and in this way improve the quality of our life, both now and in the future.
The classes are based on How to Understand the Mind, a practical guide that offers deep insights into the nature and functions of the mind. It explains how to develop and maintain a light and positive mind through recognising and abandoning states of mind that harm us, and replacing them with peaceful and beneficial ones.
