VIRTUAL TASTE OF BUDDHISM:
Optimism in Uncertain Times
with Sujatha Baliga
Sunday, April 5, 10:30am - 12pm
Facebook Livestream
These days, it’s quite easy to spend hours on the internet searching for clarity about our present situation. Instead, we find ourselves tossed by the waves of bad news, clinging to life rafts of any hopeful reports we can find. In this session, we’ll practice abandoning both hope and worry in favor of the stability that realism and optimism offer us—two things that are critical to our wellbeing in these challenging and ever-changing times. We’ll engage in meditations that can help us build a stable foundation of being at peace with the present moment—just as it is—and from there, cultivate a realistic optimism as the backbone for our wise and positive actions moving forward.
