The Dhammapada and the Lizard
Monday, 20 April, 2026

Our practice is really about developing a different relationship with our mind - one that is wise and kind. In this talk Mary reflects on how the Buddha talks about the mind using the Dhammapada, and how Rick Hanson explains the mind from a scientific perspective. These two offer insights in how we can tend to our thoughts and reactions in a wise way that leads towards more freedom and less suffering.Recorded April 16, 2026 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!
