The Myths We Live By
With Karuna Cayton
September 15 - October 6, 2024
Sundays,
In-Person and online via Zoom
10:30 am – 12:00 pm
Most of us as humans are constantly looking for ways to fix our internal problems and our external world. Join Karuna Cayton as we explore the source of our problems from a Buddhist perspective. We see the world and ourselves in a “mythological” way and as a result, we generate numerous “mini” myths that further compound our problems in life.
Through insightful teachings and guided practices, you will:
- Confront the Myth of Permanence: We cling to the illusion of lasting happiness and stability, yet everything is in constant flux. Explore how embracing impermanence can lead to greater peace and resilience.
- Challenge the Myth of Happiness: Our relentless pursuit of external happiness often leads to disappointment. Discover the true nature of lasting well-being that resides within.
- Question the Myth of Randomness: Life may seem chaotic and unpredictable, but underlying patterns and causes are at play. Learn to see the interconnectedness of all things and make conscious choices.
By delving into these and other myths, you will gain profound insights into the nature of suffering and the path to liberation. Karuna Cayton’s unique blend of Buddhist wisdom and modern psychology offers practical tools to transform your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.
This program is for everyone, no background or experience in Buddhism is required. You can drop into the classes as it suits your schedule or come to all of them.
