The Search for a Sense of Personal Identity: A Buddhist View

Moving throu gh the highs and lows of life can challenge our se nse of self\, and even create an identity crisis\, leading us asking ‘who are we in the face of loss and failure?’ Conversely\, experiences of success can feel self-affirming\, but may leave us fearin g that they will not last or simply leave us wanti ng more. The Buddha found that the underlying caus e of so much of our suffering is the immense pain of having lost touch with who we really are.

In this morning teachi ng\, Dominique Side will present some Buddhist ins ights into our true identity\, and show how\, by n urturing a deeper understanding of who we really a re\, we can begin to find the confidence and inner strength to weather life’s ups and downs.< /p>

With Dominique’s fresh a pproach to this topic\, this evening will be dynam ic and interactive\, with opportunities for person al reflection\, group dialogue and questions & ans wers.

Unders tand Your Mind

< /p>

When we seek to find who we truly are\, we m ay find ourselves identifying with our mind. Our t houghts\, feelings\, emotions and opinions colour so much of how we see and 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.
