Zoom: ‘Don’t Believe Everything You Think’

  • Aug 24, 2024 - Aug 24, 2024
  • 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM

‘Don’t Believe Everything You Think’ with Venerable Thubten Chodron
Saturday, August 24 at 5:00-6:30 p.m. Pacific Time |  Sunday, August 25 at 10-11:30 a.m. Australian Eastern Time
Sponsored by Vajrayana Institute and Kunsang Yeshe Retreat Center

“Don’t Believe Everything You Think” is a call to let go of feelings of hopelessness, self-deprecating thoughts, and useless conceptualizations and to re-envision our lives. In the depths of our hearts, all of us want to live meaningful lives and make a positive contribution to the world, but some of our unexamined assumptions about life encumber us. — Venerable Thubten Chodron
