THE EMPTINESS OF IDENTITY – Special Livestream Event

Monday, 1 February 7:30pm - 9:00pm

iCal | Google Calendar
4953 Franklin Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 90027

Who we are is not fixed. In fact, Buddha explained that our sense of self depends upon many different factors, principally our own mind.

As the world changes around us, sometimes in scary and unsettling ways, now more than ever we need the confidence to embrace the forces of change and channel them in a positive direction.

Through meditating on subtle impermanence, we can let go of the past and open ourselves up to the possibility of real change that lies before us.

Through meditating on the true nature of reality, emptiness, we let go of the ordinary, limited self we currently relate to, and access a space of possibility, creativity and joy.

During this course, we will gain first-hand experience of the power of these precious meditations to transform our life so that we can bring real benefit to ourselves and others.

COST:

$15 | Free for Members | Financial Difficulty? – Please see below
