Living in the world with courage, openness and compassion.
Seminar: instruction and guided practice.
The inherent nature of all beings is essentially goodness. It is temporarily veiled by feelings of fear, doubt and distrust. We can learn to accept our insecurity with affection and openness, maintaining confidence in the good nature of our being to allow the warmth of our own humanity to be revealed. These are the keys to a path leading to a more compassionate presence in society.
The first step is to calm the mind, followed by the introduction into the essential nature of the mind, and the development of empathy and compassion for all beings. The open and clear acceptance to every moment of life, enables us to be free of interpretations and judgments. These useful teachings and practices for modern life, allow us to face with confidence and dignity the challenges that we may experience in the difficult times in which we live.
For Buddhists, and practitioners who wish to take refuge:

The healing power of meditation
Initiation of Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification
Inattention generates more confusion, where we develop habits and inappropriate behaviors that bring pain and suffering. Meditative practice synchronizes the body and mind, and establishes a healthy ground from which to take more ethical and compassionate decisions, allowing us to manifest our inherent qualities.
TUESDAY, September 27th from 19 to 21h. Tariff $ 300
Transforming negative emotions. Green Tara initiation, Mother Liberator
We can consider the fear and the other disturbing emotions as the foundation to develop wisdom and courage. Fear can be our starting point to recognize and choose to move in the direction of understanding, trust and kindness.
