2 min - Stay Steady (teaching)
Venerable Robina will unpack what it means to "stay steady." We are usually worried about what will happen or what won't happen. A thousand times a day tiny things happen to bother us. Attachment energy is unleashed, anxiety arises, and we usually go to someone else to help us feel better. Ven. Robina will discuss methods, simple and profound, to become our own mother, friend, and therapist. A Q&A session is promised.
The main source of suffering in this life is attachment. The vast majority of all humans on the planet have absolutely no idea that what goes on in their mind plays any role at all in their lives - when it comes to happiness and suffering. Buddha has found from his own experience that we can our mind utterly of the neuroses. If you can change the outside, please change it, but what if you can't then what? Change your mind! When there is no fear, there is no suffering. We can mould our mind into any shape we like. We have to notice the thoughts before they become emotional, then we can argue with them, then we can stay steady in the face of problems.
Questions about - being influenced by others views, the recipe for enlightenment, how to identify a delusion, what does 'servants of the mind' mean, and what is the antidote for angry thoughts? Tse Chen Ling, San Francisco, 15th April 2025.

About The Workshop is in the Mind
From the publisher's feed
Venerable Robina Courtin weaves a tapestry of modern Buddhist commentary as she illuminates this ancient spiritual path with humor, wit and intensity. This Buddhist program aims to give every listener an opportunity to ponder some of life's deepest questions such as:
"Why do bad and good things happen? Is it karma? How can I overcome insecurity and start to care deeply for other beings? Can I lessen my depression and fears? Is reincarnation real? What is the mind? Exactly what is enlightenment?
A Buddhist nun since the late 1970s, Robina Courtin has worked since then with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, a worldwide network of Tibetan Buddhist activities of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinopche. She has served as editorial director of Wisdom Publications, editor of Mandala magazine, and executive director of Liberation Prison Project. Her life, as well as her work with prisoners, has been featured in the documentary films "Chasing Buddha and Key to Freedom".
