3-5pm The Other Side of Loneliness

January 11, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Lonely Man on Bench

The Other Side of Loneliness

All of us, at some point in our lives, experience loneliness. It’s easy to feel that the reason is because we are on our own, or because we are separated from those we love. But we also know that we can be sitting on the same sofa as someone, or be married to someone for years, and still feel totally isolated. We can be standing next to someone feeling half a world away. And the flip side of the coin is that our friend could be half a world away and yet we feel we are not separated at all. Although it seems like an outer experience, through exploring Buddha’s wisdom perspective we can begin to see that loneliness is an experience within our own mind, and therefore we have the power to heal and transform it. Exploring loneliness can help us come to some profound conclusions about who we really are, and how we are related to others. Then, whether we are in a relationship or not, whether we have many friends or a few, whether we are alone or in a crowd, whether our family is close by or across the globe, we’ll always be able to experience a deep sense of connection in our heart.

No pre-registration required. Everyone welcome!
