Description

Buddhist psychology and the Western oriented field of positive psychology agree: How we pay attention determines whether we live primarily in fear and judgment, or happiness and peace. This two-part series explores the teachings, practices and attitudes that enable us to live a meaningful life with a heart that is “happy for no reason.”

 

In this talk, Tara explores: 

  • how cultivating a grateful, devoted heart opens us to presence, peace, and joy beyond circumstance.
  • the "infinite field of possibility"—our capacity to incline the mind toward hope, love, and inner freedom.
  • how mindfulness and compassionate action form a virtuous cycle that nurtures deep well-being and belonging.
  • ways that serving others and savoring beauty reconnect us with the sacredness of life and the fullness of who we are.
  • awakening from the trance of unworthiness through practices like metta, gratitude, and receiving love with an open heart.
