We experience so much anxiety and fear in our minds these days. We know this. These are challenging times. And now some good news: it is possible to become completely fearless, even in such an unstable and sometimes frightening world.
Buddha pinpoints the actual source of our fear. As it turns out, it is not within our environment and external conditions, but within our mind. Through learning to skillfully apply Buddhist meditation we can learn to clearly identify this inner source of our problems and begin to diminish it. Through training, we learn to replace our self-made fears with a deep inner peace. This in turn serves as the springboard for skillful action with which to respond to our various challenges.
In this full day course, James will help us see how we can authentically transform our fear. We will learn how to take refuge in our peaceful nature. As we become more secure in this practice we become more confident and courageous in dealing with whatever comes our way.
