2/15/2024 “I Could Be Wrong, But I Don’t Think So (Fixed View)” with Dennis Warren
Audio DharmaThe Historical Buddha was clear about his message concerning the importance of thought: What we think about, so we incline the mind. We make the world with our thoughts.
Thoughts are so powerful because they shape our beliefs, assumptions, and expectations. They act as lenses thru which we perceive and understand the world. When these become fixed – and they usually do – we have the same experience over-and-over even though the circumstances and persons keep changing.
This phenomenon – fixed thoughts and views shaping our lives and resulting in suffering – is at the center of Buddhist psychology and practice. This Thursday evening will explore this field of experiences through common situations in meditation and everyday living. The subject matter of this evening will be appropriate for all stages of practice.
