No Mud, No Lotus
with Scott Tusa
Sunday, September 16, 10am - noon
The Buddhist path of understanding and meditation offers us a way to work with our human situation. Rather than turning away, we grow our resilience by turning towards the difficulties in our life. We eventually come to realize that without the mud, there can be no lotus. In this workshop, and through a combination of experiential learning and meditation, we will explore practices and theories that enable us to turn towards life’s challenges with strength, finding greater efficacy in overcoming mental and emotional habits that cause us unnecessary suffering.
