It’s encouraging these days to hear scientists basically agreeing with what Buddha found from his own experience 2500-plus years ago: we can change our minds.

Yet Buddha’s view is even more radical. He says we can utterly rid our minds of the neuroses such as attachment, anger, fear and the rest.  According to Buddhist psychology, they’re adventitious: they’re not at the
core of our being.

We’re not talking about the brain but the actual cognitive process itself.  Tune in to get a taste of what we’d be like if we could achieve this, and how to get there.
