SUMMARY:Inspiring a Revolution in Your Heart and Mind: The Deathless  Unending Nature of Mind
DESCRIPTION:The Deathless Unending Nature of Mind \nWe have been taught to spend our lives chasing our thoughts and projections. Even when “mind” is talked about\, what is referred to is thoughts and emotions alone… We rarely look into the mind itself\, the ground from which all these expressions arise. \nIn this module\, we explore our thoughts\, emotions and mind to yield understandings that make meditation truly meaningful. The highest goal of meditation is to awaken in us the vast\, wise and compassionate\, sky-like nature of our mind and introduce to us who we really are: unchanging pure awareness. Instead of meditation being merely a way of bringing temporary relaxation\, it can become a powerful cause for your long-lasting happiness and the benefit of others. \nThis is part of a year long course based on The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying\, you can join at any time. This module explores The Deathless Unending Nature of Mind  (Module 3 of the full-year course). New students are welcome. \n📍 Online and Rigpa Sydney\, 158 Australia St\, Newtown.\n🗓️ Wednesday evenings\, this module runs for 5 weeks from 29 April to 27 May 2026\n⏰ 6.30pm – 8.30pm (AEST)
