The Search for a S ense of Personal Identity: a Buddhist View

Moving thr ough the highs and lows of life can challenge our sense of self\, and even create an identity crisis \, leading us asking ‘who are we in the face of lo ss and failure?’ Conversely\, experiences of succe ss can feel self-affirming\, but may leave us fear ing that they will not last or simply leave us wan ting more. The Buddha found that the underlying ca use of so much of our suffering is the immense pai n of having lost touch with who we really are.

In this morning t eaching\, Dominique Side will present some Buddhis t insights into our true identity\, and show how\, by nurturing a deeper understanding of who we rea lly are\, we can begin to find the confidence and inner strength to weather life’s ups and downs.

With Dominique’s fresh approach to this topic\, this evening will be dynamic and interactive\, with opportunities fo r personal reflection\, group dialogue and questio ns & answers.

Understand Your Mind

When we seek to f ind who we truly are\, we may find ourselves ident ifying with our mind. Our thoughts\, feelings\, em otions and opinions colour so much of how we see a nd interact with the world around us.

In this teaching\, Dominiq ue Side will show how Buddhist psychology unpacks different facets of our mind to give us a clearer understanding of what mind is and how it functions . This gives us insights into how we can work with our mind to find a way out of our suffering and r eveal our own capacity for inner peace.

What’s This Thing We Call Happiness?

The Bu ddhist path is not about superficial or short-term happiness and wellbeing. It is not therapy or a q uick fix of any kind. And yet the benefits of brin ging the Buddhist view into our lives are immense. In a nutshell\, it can free us from the hopes and fears that entangle us and bog us down.

In this teaching\, Domi nique Side will explore what happiness is. Is it w ellbeing? Is it contentment? Where do we find happ iness in a world full of suffering? And together w e’ll investigate how can we set ourselves a goal o f true\, sustainable\, long-lasting happiness.

~~With Dominique’s fresh approach to this topic\, this afternoon will be dynamic and interactive\, with opportunities f or personal reflection\, group dialogue and questi ons & answers.~~
