About this Event
Have you ever wondered why certain situations upset us, why our thoughts sometimes overwhelm us, or why two people can experience the same situation so differently?
Every day, our thoughts, feelings, and reactions shape how we experience life. Yet, how often do we stop to understand what is happening within our own minds?
Join Ven. Dr. Mahinda Thero for The Image – Deep Insight into Consciousness, a thought-provoking exploration of the mind through the Supreme Buddha's teachings and modern science.
Discover how understanding consciousness can help us question familiar perceptions, see our everyday experiences differently, and explore the path towards greater clarity and lasting peace.
No prior knowledge of Buddhism is needed. Everyone is welcome!
