The Meditator’s Map: Illuminating Mind and Mental Factors
with Venerable Losang Gendun
Join us for a four-week series exploring the Buddhist understanding of mind and mental factors—the building blocks of all our experience. These teachings offer a gateway into both meditative practice and deeper self-understanding.
Each Monday evening, we will delve into how consciousness arises moment by moment, shaped by ever-changing mental factors such as attention, intention, mindfulness, and feeling. By learning to recognize these inner processes, we gain the possibility to transform them—fostering clarity, emotional balance, and genuine insight.
Understanding the mind in this way is not only foundational for meditation; it is also the first step toward realizing emptiness and developing a more compassionate, wise relationship with ourselves and others.
The evening teachings will be complemented by short, guided meditations on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, allowing you to integrate the material directly into your own contemplative practice. To learn more and register for the morning sessions, please visit: Cultivating Awareness: Express Meditations on Mind and Mental Factors.
Whether you are new to meditation or seeking to deepen your path, this series will offer both practical tools and inspiring perspective.
