Seeing Reality

Everything changes. Your job. Your body. The economy. The climate. The people you love.

Even the ground beneath your feet is moving. You're just too busy to notice. And when you finally do notice, it usually hits like a cold wave you didn't see coming.

“The course helped me consolidate previous experiences that I had abandoned over time.”

“This course has been fundamental for me in recent months. It has helped me to be more aware in very important moments and to see life from a calmer and more serene perspective. I am eternally grateful.”

You can try many different ways to cope with change and uncertainty:

  • You can make detailed plans and tighten your grip on routines.

  • You might distract yourself with work, entertainment, or staying endlessly busy.

  • You could tell yourself "everything happens for a reason" and hope that helps.

  • You might even avoid thinking about it altogether - after all, who wants to dwell on the fact that nothing truly lasts forever?

We all seek to avoid truths we are uncomfortable with, and even if we are “comfortable” with it, how often do we change our behaviors?

We still end up reactive and frustrated when things fall apart. All our coping strategies will not give us the stability we look for until we truly see reality for what it is.

So what about this?

In SEEING REALITY, we explore a radically different relationship with change: instead of bracing against it, we learn to move with it.

Over 2,500 years ago, the Buddha observed that everything in our world is constantly changing and renewing. Our suffering does not come from impermanence itself, but from insisting that things stay the same when they can't.

Through meditation and guided reflection, we practice becoming more aware of change as it happens: in our breath, our body, our thoughts, and the world around us. We discover that when we stop fighting the current, we find a kind of stability that doesn't depend on things staying put.

We may even find that impermanence, far from being an enemy, is the most reliable companion we have.

The only one that never changes.

  • "It has benefited me a lot on a personal level. I know myself better and have been able to establish better connections with my environment and other people. I also have better control over my emotions."

    Course Participant

  • "Well, the truth is that it has benefited me in that I am being a little more even-tempered with myself and with others, but above all with myself, since I always judge myself very harshly and on top of that I punish myself."
