Discover Your True Nature

November 8 – 16, 2023

A 9-day Intermediate-Level Course led by Venerable Lhundup Jamyang

The way we learn to be successful and happy brings us often to a place of restlessness, unhappiness, and dissatisfaction. We might feel that we are a failure, that something is wrong with us, or that we don’t deserve to be successful.

The actual cause of our dissatisfied mind is our inability to see the nature of reality as it is. We are blinded by our ignorance. Due to this we are vulnerable to a conditioning that is not aligned with reality, and therefore doesn’t have the capacity to bring us what we set out for. Our identification with the self, our emotions, and our deep seated limited beliefs keeps us trapped in cyclic existence.

This course touches on both the level of the heart and the view. We will explore the nature of the mind on the conventional and the ultimate level. You will learn techniques that will help you to live more in accordance with your nature. These will help you to bring your mind to a place beyond hope and fear, where you experience the natural peace of just being present. When the mind aligns with this natural balance, the body also relaxes, releasing patterns of attachment and aversion to reclaim the present moment with freedom and ease.

About Tushita

Tushita is a centre for the study and practice of Buddhism from the Tibetan Mahayana tradition. We're located in Northern India, in the forested hills above the town of McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala - the seat in exile of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Tushita aims to provide a friendly and conducive environment for people of all nationalities and backgrounds to learn about and put into practice the teachings of the Buddha. With this in mind we offer regular drop-in events and courses on introductory Buddhist philosophy and meditation, as well as intermediate level courses and group retreats for more experienced students.
