Within silence, we can discover deeper aspects of wisdom using the ancient teachings from Buddha to integrate into our modern lives. Even if you've never tried or think that you can be silent, would like to invite you to experience the benefits of silence by exploring your mind with wisdom.
When we are in the throughs of fear, it doesn't seem like we have options. We feel bound to the anxiety and panic it induces is unchangeable.
In this silent retreat, Gen Chokyi will explore the following:
- Recognizing where our fear comes from
- Exploring the healing meditation of taking by means of compassion and giving by means of love
Although it may not feel possible at this moment to deal with your fears, you can encourage yourself that with familiarity and time using these scientific methods, you can transform your fear into on object of compassion and wisdom.
“Furthermore, we can use all unfortunate conditions to cultivate other good qualities, such as patience, love and bodhichitta...A person who sincerely practices transforming adverse conditions into the path will find many good qualities in suffering, and so he or she will always remain calm and undaunted.” — Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
