Talks and teachings with Senior Tibetan Buddhist lama Dzogchen Rinpoche
[b][/b]A SENIOR Buddhist lama is coming to Brisbane to teach local people how to stop taking their emotions so seriously.His Eminence the 7th Dzogchen Rinpoche says emotions are actually neither good nor bad; it is the way we react to them that causes us problems.Dzogchen Rinpoche will be in Brisbane on Friday 30 September at BrisWest Centre (132 Latrobe Terrace, Paddington) to give a public talk entitled Emotions: Don't Take Them Too Seriously.His Eminence, who is one of the highest lamas alive today in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, says: "We tend to believe our emotions. We either suppress our anger, jealousy and desire because they are regarded as negative or express them skillfully for our gain. "The Dzogchen teachings however, see emotions as neither good nor bad in themselves rather saying that it's taking our emotions seriously, following and reacting to them, that causes us problems."In this public talk, Dzogchen Rinpoche will introduce the Dzogchen view on emotions helping us to see them as they really are - transient projections of the mind and giving us very practical methods to end our daily struggle.Doors open at 7pm, the talk begins at 7:30pm. Tickets are $25 ($20 concession) and can be purchased online at www.trybooking.com/DEDUFor further information call 0416 404 826 or email [email protected]

We are less distracted and have less judgment of anything we feel and experience. We become much more at ease with ourselves and others, have less worries about things going wrong and are able to enjoy ourselves much more, even in situations that we would usually consider stressful and difficult."Tickets are $350 ($320 concession).
