Make a fresh start for the year 2025 by purifying our old habits with the meditation on the four powers and making optimistic decisions to change.
Ven. Robina Courtin explores the concept “The Workshop is in The Mind”. As Lama Zopa Rinpoche says, the workshop is in the mind. Combined with inner work, we learn to abide by the natural law of karma, which strengthens our confidence that we are the creators of our own reality and that there’s no karma that can’t be changed.
Join Ven. Robina to participate in a meaningful and important Long Life Puja for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, offered by FPMT. Lama Zopa Rinpoche was very keen to have this puja occur.
The Sixteen Arhats puja is a powerful purification practice. Buddha Shakyamuni personally selected the Sixteen Arhats from amongst his disciples and requested them to protect the Dharma.
Buddha’s view of reality is that the universe exists within the natural law of cause of effect, of karma. The experiential implication of this view is empowerment, accountability, and the courage to change.
Ven. Robina teaches on how to infuse your compassion with courage, so you can stay optimistic and confident in the face of suffering in the world.
It is said that if you want to know how your Dharma practice is going, visit your family. Ven. Robina Courtin explores various practices to move through a range of experiences the holidays may bring up and turn your mind in a joyous direction.
