We look at the life of Siddhartha Gautama—the Buddha—as a mirror to help open our own search for meaning and true potential.About this EventFor many of us, the journey begins with a quiet realization — doing everything right doesn't seem to bring the happiness we expected, but rather a quiet restlessness, a feeling that something is missing. In this 8-week course, we look at the life story of Siddhartha Gautama—the man who became the Buddha—as a mirror to help uncover our own search for meaning and true potential.- Restlessness: Becoming aware of the subtle stress and dissatisfaction we experience when we try to force the world to revolve around us.- The Root: Seeing how our world-view and mental patterns get in the way of our happiness.- Unlocking:Tapping into our own goodness; inner fulfilment comes from within, and is already there.- First Steps: Connecting ourselves to others through our inner goodness.Becoming more aware of what causes our dissatisfaction, we can see beyond our usual ways of being. This allows us to discover a deeper sense of connection with ourselves and others, opening up new ways of relating to the world around us.Through open, collaborative conversation and guided meditation, we’ll learn from each other’s experiences and insights as we explore how our minds really work.Offered by Rigpa Hudson Valley / Tom Andrews. 8 Tuesdays Sept 15 - Nov 10.
