Dhamma Talk: Facing the World - Applying Buddhism in Modern Day Settings

Talk Synopsis

Our present age is characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. The dharmic voices from thousands years ago, however, can offer possibilities for thinking afresh about our current conundrum. The notion of no-self (anatta) may offer us an alternative strategy to deal with the challenges of our time.

A stress free life emerges neither from confirming a self nor planning every details of our life, but through training ourselves to be aware of all the small moments we go through. Let's explore how the transformation can come in part from realizing the tapestry of causal conditions and our habits of mental construction.

This session will include time for Q&A.
