Studying the Self: The Challenge

Everyone experiences times when it is difficult to keep a steady Buddhist practice going due to strong emotions, a restless or agitated mind, or feelings of apathy or complacency. Practitioners can also face obstacles that come from daily life— work, family or other obligations—which can be perceived to conflict with Buddhist practice.

In this workshop, participants will explore how, in facing these obstacles with wisdom and honesty, they can begin to develop skillfulness in meeting the challenges of life, and greater compassion for both ourselves and others. This retreat will be a practical look at these issues with many opportunities to ask questions.
