Loneliness: The Solution Within

All of us, at some stage of our life, experience loneliness one way or another. Loneliness does not discriminate, people across all genders and ages experience it — both wealthy and poor. So often in seeking for an answer to this we look for comfort outside of ourselves – we endlessly distract ourselves away from the core of our problems. The Buddhist teachings take a different approach. They remind us that ultimately the solution lies within ourselves. Through working with our mind and heart, loneliness can be softened, transformed and ultimately completely overcome.

Saturday’s Loneliness: The Solution Within session is part of our monthly program: Finding Peace and Joy in Troubled Times. This series of Saturday afternoon sessions offer an introduction to meditation and practical advice from some of the foremost Tibetan Buddhist teachers of our age.

Applying these teachings can help us meet the challenges of these difficult times, to heal ourselves, and to bring us to the core of our own peace, compassion and wisdom.
