The Myths We Live By
with Karuna Cayton, offered via Facebook LIVE
as part of our Taste of Buddhism program
Sunday, December 13th
10:30 AM - 12:00 noon PDT
This program is the fourth of four “episodes” in Karuna’s Taste of Buddhism series, The Myths We Live By. The four talks build on one another, but it is not necessary to see them all to get good flavor and benefit! The previous session can be viewed on our Facebook page after September 20th.
"We don't see what is there, and what we do see is not there"
Geshe Gelek Chodha
In Buddhist philosophy and psychology all problems arise as a result of just one cause: not knowing how things really exist. This "not knowing" (ignorance) both misperceives how things are but then adds its own interpretation. These are "myths" it projects onto everything, every experience, every moment. We will look at several of the most predominant myths that essentially make us less healthy human beings. By knowing, first, that we are even hypnotized by wrong perception we can learn to integrate correct perception and develop a continual path of fulfillment."
