Dharma Talks at Nyingma Institute
Upcoming Talks
“Emotions as Teachers: What We Can Learn From How We Respond” — Sunday, March 15 from 6-7pm Pacific time. Offered in person and online.
“We can be grateful for our emotions, for our frustrations and sorrows; they help us to wake up. We have no clearer messages about what is happening in our lives.”
–Tarthang Tulku, Openness Mind, p. 51
Emotions can be binding and painful, but they can also be great teachers. Erika Rosenberg, Ph.D., emotions researcher and Nyingma instructor, will discuss how we can work with relaxation, mindfulness, and an open heart to appreciate the transient nature of emotions, be freed from the tendency to cling to both pleasant and unpleasant experiences, and learn to understand ourselves in relation to the world we inhabit. Offered in person and online.
