About this Event
Have you ever wondered why certain words hurt us, why we hold on to unpleasant experiences, or why our minds sometimes turn small problems into big worries?
From our relationships and decisions to our happiness and disappointments, the way we experience life is deeply connected to how our minds work. Yet, how often do we stop to question what shapes these experiences?
Join Ven. Dr. Mahinda Thero for The Image – Deep Insight into Consciousness, a thought-provoking exploration of the mind through the profound wisdom of the Supreme Buddha's teachings and modern science.
Discover how a deeper understanding of consciousness can challenge familiar perceptions, offer a new way of looking at everyday experiences, and open the door to greater clarity and lasting peace.
No prior knowledge of Buddhism is needed. Everyone is welcome!
