♦ Turning the Mind to the Dharma

A workshop with Venerable Thubten Chodron

Saturday, 30 November: 10 am-4 pm
Sunday, 1 December: 10 am-4 pm

What exactly does it mean to practice the Buddha’s teachings? Venerable Thubten Chodron gives a weekend of teachings on the four thoughts that turn the mind to the Dharma—impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, karma, and the preciousness of human rebirth—and how to work with the eight worldly concerns that distract us from spiritual practice. Just as lay a strong foundation supports the walls and the roof of a house, the four thoughts that turn the mind give us firm footing to progress along the path to full awakening.
