December 13 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
In Person and Online
Sunday, December 13th – 11:00 am to 4:00 pm
John returns to the Durango Dharma Center to offer a workshop exploring the application of the Eight Verses of Thought Transformation, a treasured Tibetan Buddhist teaching that distills the path of compassion into eight brief verses. These teachings offer profound, practical guidance for opening our hearts, transforming difficult relationships and bringing wisdom and compassion into everyday life.
In times of uncertainty, division and rapid change, these teachings help us recognize reactive habits, soften self-centered concerns and respond to ourselves and others with greater patience, courage and care. Through teachings, guided meditation and reflection, we will explore how to meet difficulties without becoming overwhelmed or closing our hearts, cultivating the inner strength to engage with the world in meaningful and beneficial ways.
Engage in guided reflection, sharing, and meditation, bringing these perfections into context within your own values, beliefs and life circumstances.
