The Mindfulness Living Series (Part 1 of 2)
A Day of Teachings and Practice

– Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche IX

Join us for a Day of Meditation and Teachings as we Practice and Explore the Buddhist notion of Mindfulness.

Part 1: What Is “Mindfulness” In Buddhism?

In the Buddhist tradition, there is more to mindfulness that ‘being in the now’ – and more to it than simply not judging what is present in the mind. Traleg Rinpoche explains how Mindfulness involves both remembrance and forgetting, remembering experiences that are important, significant and worth remembering and learn to forget and not dwell on bad experiences that we do not need to carry around.

Furthermore, Mindfulness can also help build resilience. Due to our habituation, we can often choose to think the worse of everything, including ourselves. Through meditation, we can learn to tell ourselves stories of encouragement and abandon the monologues of self-criticisms. Meditation is all about self-transformation, which means a change in character; one is trying to become a different person. According to Buddhism, this is possible, because of the notion of “no self”.

If you want to learn about Mindfulness in the Buddhist tradition and self-transformation, join us for this Day of Teachings and Practice!
