“Science has rapidly extended our understanding of external phenomena, and technological advances have contributed to improved health and physical comfort. Yet even in the most developed countries we do not find a corresponding increase in peace and happiness; if anything, there is greater anxiety and stress. “ – His Holiness Dalai Lama
It’s inevitable that people in today’s changing times will encounter stress in some form or another. Whether it’s the challenging economic situation, downsizing in the workplace, or the pressures to raise healthy children in a fast-paced society, stress arises wherever there is hope or fear.
Many people perceive stress as a negative influence, and will do anything to make it ‘go away’. And yet, have you ever wanted to face stressful situations with confidence, without anxiety, and with a grounded, fully-aware mind and attitude?
Using the teachings of Chan (Chinese Zen) Buddhism as its foundation, we invite you to explore stress from an Eastern perspective. We hope you can join us for this exciting opportunity to learn about stress and your true self, from our honorable guest speaker Venerable GuoXing, the abbot of Dharma Drum Retreat Centre in New York.
In this talk you will learn,
- The nature of stress
- The causes of stress
- The cessation of stress
- The path to the cessation of stress
Admission is FREE.
