Beyond Bias: The Path of Joy & Equanimity
by Venerables Thubten Damcho & Thubten Rinchen |
7:00 pm
|
How do we navigate a complex world with the steady heart of a bodhisattva? While love and compassion are the familiar gateways, Joy and Equanimity are the pillars that stabilize a long-term practice. Join visiting nuns Venerables Thubten Damcho and Thubten Rinchen as they lead an exploration into the more nuanced pair of these “Four Abodes”: Empathic Joy and Equanimity. |
|
We will discuss how to move past the subtle biases of “us vs. them” and how to cultivate a joy that isn’t dependent on our own personal gains. This evening is designed to help you deepen your existing practice, moving from intellectual understanding to a lived experience of a balanced, unshakable mind. |
