Kingdom of the Mind – Jewel Heart 2021 Summer Retreat with Demo Rinpoche

Buddhist psychology recognizes fifty-one mental faculties that affect our mind in positive and negative ways. Within that context Demo Rinpoche will explore the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, where ignorance affects our actions through the negative mental faculties. Those negative actions result in negative karma.

Understanding how the mind works gives us control of our minds, making it easier to recognize negative emotions as they arise. By understanding how negative mental faculties function, we can avoid engaging in negative actions.

Through that awareness, managing our mind becomes life changing—both now and at the time of our departure to the next life.

This online retreat is offered over two 3-day weekends, August 20 – 22 and 27 – 29. It is open to all levels of interest and experience.

The Summer Retreat registrant webpage will host recordings of the retreat sessions, allowing retreat participants to review sessions.
