Jan. 10th Celebration: “The Inevitability of Change: The Power of Acceptance” with Ramananda John E. Welshons
by Alan Dench | Jan 6, 2021 | Announcements
In his first visit with us in the New Year, Ramananda will offer a talk and guided meditation that deals with our ability to embrace – rather than resist – change. In Buddhist philosophy, change is seen as an inevitable aspect of life. Our happiness is facilitated by how well we adjust to that inevitable change. Our bodies are constantly changing. Our environment is constantly changing. Our thoughts and moods are constantly changing. Our world is constantly changing. Suffering is created by our resistance to change and our disappointment about efforts to create change when those efforts don’t seem to be producing the results we seek. We will look at the philosophical frameworks that are utilized in the East to better understand the inevitable changes in life and to let go of the suffering we create for ourselves when things don’t change . . . the way we want them to. We will learn that “acceptance” is not an expression of passivity, but – rather – an expression of active engagement with life . . . and with Reality.
Celebration starts at 10:30 am. We are continuing virtual celebrations.
