Drawing from the profound wisdom of How to Understand the Mind by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, this course offers a rare opportunity to explore how your mind works and how to generate a more positive outlook on life.
Each week we will explore habits of mind that interfere with our happiness and bring us down.
