Building Authentic Self-Confidence - an Online Saturday Morning Workshop

Kadampa Meditation Center Washington,Seattle WA 98117

22 May, 2021

Description

Remove your negativity and learn how to relate to your positive potential! Learn timeless techniques to develop your innate self-confidence. Everyone needs confidence; with confidence, we can accomplish almost anything. This is especially true with regard to realizing our spiritual potential. Self-confidence is not the same as self-importance; in fact, it is the opposite. When we grasp strongly at at our own importance, we get caught up in comparisons with others and our self-confidence is undermined. With self-confidence, we are able to identify with our Buddha nature: our potential for lasting happiness, total freedom, universal love, and omniscient wisdom. In this morning workshop, Gen Rinzin will teach methods for relating to our pure potential and conquering the delusions, or negative states of mind, that hold us back. Once we have discovered our true self-confidence and we practice it in daily life, we can get on unselfconsciously with the job of improving ourselves and helping everyone else. All delusions are based on a mistaken way of seeing things. When we see things as they really are, our delusions naturally disappear and virtuous minds naturally manifest. ~ How to Transform Your Life by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
