Stop Grasping. Understand the True Nature of Things
Mar 13 - Apr 17
Time: 11:00 – 12:30pm or 7:00 – 8:30pm
Cost: $15 per class or $72 for the series
Why do we have mental pain? What is the root cause of all our negative states of mind? Buddha explained it was because we don’t understand how things really exist.
Buddha’s teachings on the wisdom that realizes the true nature of all things, known as emptiness, allows us to understand and eventually experience directly how things actually exist. At the moment our minds are continually under the influence of a deep-seated ignorance – a mistake – that causes us to misapprehend how things exist. We perceive phenomena as existing entirely outside of our minds. This mistake leads us to assigning intrinsic qualities (good/bad…attractive/unattractive) to persons, things and situations, which then gives rise to the various uncontrolled and reactive emotional responses that are the underlying causes of all the conflicts and sufferings that trouble our minds.
Through the meditation on emptiness we discover that in fact all phenomena are “empty” of existing outside of our mind. This in turn allows us to experience our lives in a wonderfully different way. We understand that objects exist in a much more pliable state and that it’s up to us to decide what’s the best way to relate to them. We become like someone who is dreaming and becoming aware that they are dreaming. In this way we gain the freedom to transform the circumstances of the dream (our life!) into something joyful and meaningful.
In this series, following Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s practical and accessible Modern Buddhist presentation, Kelsang Khacho will explain and guide meditations on emptiness, and learn how to apply this liberating wisdom in daily life.
Everyone is welcome!

WinSport Day Lodge & Hill

Simbest

This is the venue for some of the events of the 15th Winter Olympic Games in 1988, and it is still a good ice and snow sanctuary. It retained the national flag of the countries participating in the conference at that time, so the flag of the former Soviet Union can still be seen flying in the wind.

Peace Bridge

It looks like a tunnel bridge, and it is also a transportation hub for passing through the other side of the river. The color of this bridge is very eye-catching, with red intersecting structures. Vehicles cannot pass through, but people and bicycles can pass freely. There are lights at night, and Fengjia feels magnificent. 
[Scenery] Very beautiful
