Friday Night Lecture: Clear Sky Mind

“When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides and the mind becomes still, a deep happiness and sense of contentment naturally arise from within.”
– Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
We often feel trapped in painful habits of thought — anxiety, hurt, or sadness — believing our mind is fixed and unchanging. This mistaken perception leaves us feeling powerless to escape our own emotions. Yet this limited view does not reflect the true, pure nature of our mind.
During this lecture, we will explore the mind’s natural clarity and boundless potential for peace. Through meditations on the clear nature of the mind, we’ll come to understand that genuine freedom from unhappiness — and the attainment of enlightenment itself — is truly possible. With this insight, we can begin a joyful process of deep and lasting transformation.
Following this Friday Night Lecture, we will have an opportunity to engage in a Saturday retreat to practice these profound meditations.
