Have you ever noticed how your mind can turn a small event into a full-blown drama?
In this talk, we’ll explore how our minds create the stories we tell ourselves—and how those stories create our suffering.
You might think, “I don’t do that.” But have you ever seen a face in the clouds, or heard criticism in friendly words? If the answer is yes, then this talk is for you.
Drawing on Buddhist philosophy and psychology, we’ll uncover how our assumptions about “self” and “other” lead to attachment, aversion, and conflict. Using relatable, everyday examples, we’ll examine how much of the drama in our lives comes not from reality itself, but from the way we interpret it.
Together, we’ll explore key Buddhist perspectives on perception and reality, and learn practical ways to recognise when our mind is replaying the same old soap opera—so we can respond with more clarity and calm.
✨ What you’ll gain:
Deeper awareness of mental habits – Recognise how your mind constructs stories and drama, and how these shape your emotions.
Insight into self and reality – Discover how Buddhist philosophy analyses reality, helping you see beyond habitual misperceptions.
Tools to question assumptions – Learn to identify and challenge the mental projections that trigger emotional reactions.
A path to emotional freedom – Explore strategies to reduce unnecessary drama and cultivate compassion for yourself and others.
