Exploring the Power of Our Mind to Shape Our World

Exploring the Power of Our Mind to Shape Our World

Special 75-minute class, with David Nuss

Creativity is often seen as the act of bringing to life art or music or storytelling of all kinds. For some, being creative in these ways is something they actively pursue, either as a passion or even as our “day job.” For others, the notion of being creative may feel terrifically foreign.

From the Buddhist perspective, every one of us is creating every moment of the day. We may think that the world and our experiences are things that are happening to us from “out there.” But as we discover through meditation and Buddha’s teachings, it’s actually our mind that is creating our world.

For those who already identify as a “creative”, this process of world-building may be familiar, but even then, most likely not in the way that it truly shapes their day-to-day experiences of life.

Just as a writer chooses their words or a painter their colors, with Buddha’s teachings and meditations we can learn how to create a vibrant path that brings us more happiness and freedom. Join us in this special one-session Saturday course where David will help us explore how we can create a better reality – even if we’ve never played a note in our life.

The next meditation in this series is the one that all the previous meditations in our ongoing Wednesday series on the Stages of the Path have been leading up to: the meditation on emptiness.

According to Buddha, the root cause of our suffering is our ignorance of, and subsequent misapprehension of, how things actually exist. We perceive phenomena as existing entirely independently of the mind, and it is this mistaken apprehension that gives rise to all attachments and aversions that generate our unhappiness.

In reality things are empty of being independent of the mind. It is through understanding this emptiness that we begin to undermine all the unhappiness in our minds and lives. Gradually, through gaining deep experience of emptiness in meditation, we can actually purify our minds completely and eventually eradicate even the root cause of our suffering.

What could be more exciting than coming to understand the true nature of all things? And then to discover that this insight will actually remove all our unhappiness and make our lives inexpressibly joyful, creative and meaningful?

In this series, we will delve into the fundamentals of Buddhist meditation by learning how to connect with our internal source of happiness, our true potential, our Buddha nature. Together we’ll explore the purpose of and benefits of mediation, and in the process, see how we can build a rich and sustainable practice at home. And of course, we’ll meditate!

This class is suitable for both beginners and experienced students seeking to enhance their mediation practice. Each week will feature a different focus and offer time for questions and discussion.
