Venerable Robina will unpack what it means to “stay steady.” We are usually worried about what will happen or what won’t happen. A thousand times a day tiny things happen to bother us. Attachment energy is unleashed, anxiety arises, and we usually go to someone else to help us feel better. Ven. Robina will discuss methods, simple and profound, to become our own mother, friend, and therapist. A Q&A session is promised. The main source of suffering in this life is attachment.

Overcoming Clinging (teaching)

The Workshop is in the Mind ·

2025/06/17

Women of Wisdom series. According to Buddha, attachment – clinging, grasping, craving – is effectively the main source of our suffering in day-to-day life. Big surprise! We usually confuse it with love, which is necessarily altruistic, and is the source of our own happiness and the capacity to help others. Buddha’s view of the mind describes two distinct categories of states of mind: the deluded, disturbing ones – such as attachment, anger, low self-esteem and the rest – and the virtuous, spacious

How to Apply the Wisdom of Emptiness in Everyday Life...

The Workshop is in the Mind ·

2025/06/10

We spend our lives being seduced by the outside world, believing completely that happiness and suffering come from “out there.” But “everything we experience is our own karmic appearance,” says Lama Zopa Rinpoche. “Everything is made up by our own minds.” By understanding emptiness — that everything occurs in dependence upon causes and conditions (in other words, karma) and that, crucially, there’s nothing intrinsic in anything that makes it what it is — we can slowly loosen the grip of ego-grasping

Purification Practice (meditation)

The Workshop is in the Mind ·

2025/06/06

In this short but powerful practice we apply the for opponent powers to purify our negative Karma. First, we take refuge, we rely on our trustworthy teacher, the Buddha, and the path he showed us. Then we regret all our negative actions, which only create obstacles on our path. And next we apply the remedy, in this practice it is the recitation of the Vajrasattva Mantra. To conclude, we apply the power of restraint; we make a pledge to do our best not to do these negative actions again.
