Opening the Heart - Joy of Living Level 2
Starting Saturday, November16 to 17, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm EST
With Tergar Asia Facilitator Tsuma Fazun
In this in-person meditation workshop, we will learn how meditating on loving-kindness and compassion can open our hearts to the world around us and relax the self-centred tendencies that lead to anxiety, dissatisfaction, and suffering. Cultivation loving-kindness and compassion helps us to see the basic goodness that all beings share. By relating to others in an open-hearted way, we bring peace to the mind and develop a sense of confidence and purpose. This, in turn, naturally brings harmony to our relationships and enables us to work with challenging situations for effectively.
This workshop includes video teachings by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, short presentations on the key points of meditation practice by Tsuma Fazun, as well as guided meditations and discussion.
This workshop is open to meditators who have previously attended a Calming the Mind: Joy of Living 1 meditation workshop/retreat or a Joy of Living 1 program online, and meet the 50 hours practice requirements.
