NEWPORT – Buddhist nuns from Sravasti Abbey will give a series of talks on “Transform Your Troubles” at CREATE Arts Center in Newport, Mondays from 6:30-8 p.m., Sept. 9-30. There is no charge and offerings are welcomed. No advance registration is required.
The presenters, Venerables Thubten Lamsel, Thubten Dekyi, and Thubten Monlam, have lived and trained with the Abbey’s founder – Buddhist teacher and author, Venerable Thubten Chodron – for many years.
Feeling stuck or overwhelmed by difficulties in your life or problems in the world? Thankfully, there are practices that folks of all backgrounds can learn to achieve greater peace of mind and transform problems into opportunities for growth.
In these talks, Abbey monastics share some of their meditation and mind-training practices that change our perspective and open our hearts in the face of challenging situations.
Each session will include a short, guided meditation to settle the mind, followed by a talk, and some time for Q&A and group discussion. No meditation background is needed. For more information, visit www.sravastiabbey. org/events/.
Founded in 2003, Sravasti Abbey is a Buddhist monastery practicing in the Tibetan tradition near Newport. Find more information at SravastiAbbey. org.
