Stop Grasping. Understand Emptiness
Mar 13 - Apr 17
Time: 11am - 12:30pm
Cost: $15 per class or $72 for the series
Why do we have mental pain? What is the root cause of all our negative states of mind? Buddha explained it was because we don’t understand how things really exist.
Buddha’s teachings on the wisdom that realizes the true nature of all things, known as emptiness, allows us to understand and eventually experience directly how things actually exist. At the moment our minds are continually under the influence of a deep-seated ignorance – a mistake – that causes us to misapprehend how things exist. We perceive phenomena as existing entirely outside of our minds. This mistake leads us to assigning intrinsic qualities (good/bad…attractive/unattractive) to persons, things and situations, which then gives rise to the various uncontrolled and reactive emotional responses that are the underlying causes of all the conflicts and sufferings that trouble our minds.
Through the meditation on emptiness we discover that in fact all phenomena are “empty” of existing outside of our mind. This in turn allows us to experience our lives in a wonderfully different way. We understand that objects exist in a much more pliable state and that it’s up to us to decide what’s the best way to relate to them. We become like someone who is dreaming and becoming aware that they are dreaming. In this way we gain the freedom to transform the circumstances of the dream (our life!) into something joyful and meaningful.
In this series, following Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s practical and accessible Modern Buddhist presentation, Kelsang Khacho will explain and guide meditations on emptiness, and learn how to apply this liberating wisdom in daily life.
Everyone is welcome!

Peace Bridge

小思文

It looks like a tunnel bridge, and it is also a transportation hub for passing through the other side of the river. The color of this bridge is very eye-catching, with red intersecting structures. Vehicles cannot pass through, but people and bicycles can pass freely. There are lights at night, and Fengjia feels magnificent. 
[Scenery] Very beautiful

it&#39;s a nice place to visit not only for kids but for adults who love animals as well. i went here alone, and it was nice to have a walk and see the animals at the same time. sadly,the pandas are gone, but i got to see them before they&#39;re gone.

This is a relatively exciting sports center. The Victory Sports Center is quite fun. There are many sports worth playing. The scale of this stadium is also very grand. There are many landscapes to visit and many fun projects to experience.
