Finding the Real You

Discovering Freedom and Joy Through the Teachings on Emptiness

One of Buddha’s most important teachings is that we’re mistaken when it comes to the source of our problems. We blame others. We blame ourselves.

It turns out our problems are caused by a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of who we really are. In fact we make this mistake about the nature of literally everything.

The word used by Buddha to describe the true nature of ourselves and reality is emptiness. At first, “emptiness” may not sound like a good thing. But it’s an experience of freedom from limitation that allows us to let go of our painful ways of relating to ourselves and the world. It is a source of joy, creativity and healing that we can all tap into at any time.

In this half-day course, Yogi will explain and guide meditations on emptiness, emphasizing in particular how to apply this liberating wisdom, and experience our lives in a wonderfully different way
