Allows us to take the teachings and meditations deeper into our heart and gives us the space to better contemplate what we have learned.
How to Develop Equanimity
Sun 6 Aug · 9.15am–3pm · $55/$45
If we can develop equanimity with regard to the concerns of this life we will overcome many of our daily anxieties and frustrations. Most of the personal problems we experience are caused by our own biased mind. When we gain equanimity we will see all beings as equally precious and as a result we will find many of our own problems are overcome. Equanimity is an equal concern for others and not a mere indifference. Indifference is as far away from equanimity as hatred and attachment. When we develop equanimity we will experience great peace and happiness and we will not feel disturbed no matter whatever our circumstances.
