Becoming Your Own Therapist with Ven. Robina Courtin is the first episode of the Wisdom Dialogues.
In this session, Ven Robina explains the importance of cultivating both wisdom as well as compassion. The first step is to gain some sort of control over the mind, at the very least making the determination each day not to harm anyone with our speech and actions. So following ethical conduct is important. States of mind like compassion, love and forgiveness are the source of our happiness because these states accord with the reality of how our world exists. Unhelpful states like anger, anxiety and depression not only bring us pain but are in fact based on misunderstanding reality. By working on increasing the positive states of mind, the unhelpful states of mind are naturally reduced. Typically, we interact with the world by exaggerating the objects and events we come into contact with. This disturbs our minds. But gradually we can train the mind. We can learn to loosen the grip of the neurotic mind to become clearer, more connected with others and more in touch with reality. This takes time.
The Wisdom Dialogues are a 6-part exploration of the mind and emotions. Learn how to cultivate wisdom and become your own therapist. This series offers an opportunity to explore the depths of wisdom with some of the world's most renowned thinkers on the topic. Don't miss this chance to deepen your understanding of the mind and emotions and explore techniques for calming the mind, for greater clarity, resulting in stronger compassion and more purpose in life.
“One of the most important things is to focus on bringing compassion into our everyday intentions. If we can do this, it will boost our confidence, which in turn will help us deal with challenges. If you give in to anxiety instead, you can’t use your human resources to think things through. To exercise your rational faculty, you need to relax and find peace.”
— HH the Dalai Lama, FDCW Patron
