Emptiness is the word used by Buddha to describe the ultimate nature of reality. The way things exist. Our painful feelings, our problems, difficulties arises due to our grasping at the world around us. When, through studying Buddha’s teachings and understand that reality is not fixed and solid, but dream-like, we gain anexperience of freedom from limitation that allows us to let go of our painful ways of relating to ourselves and the world. It is a source of joy, creativity and healing that we can all tap into at any time. Through meditating on emptiness we can quickly become the person we wish to be, and we open ourselves to our potential for complete liberation and enlightenment.

This series follows from the special public talk on November 21 with Gen Kelsang Thekchen the Resident Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada. In this series of classes, we will dwelve deeper into the contemplations introduced by Gen Thekchen. In this way we will gain a deep experience of the capacity of our mind to experience inner peace and improve our overall health and well-being. We can all achieve inner peace and happiness through regular meditation training.
Where do our problems come from? Are problems found outside the mind or within our unpeaceful states of mind? By understanding whatever problems we experience come from the mind, we can learn to respond to difficult situations with a positive and peaceful mind. In this way, we can transform our problems into challenges or opportunities for growth and development. We can learn to solve our daily problems with deep understanding of the teaching that problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind.
