The Class

The mind is rich with creative power. Think of it. Every day our mind creates a multitude of realities, each attended by various emotions and experienced in diverse ways. While these often bring us a sense of joy and freedom, they can also be limiting, disruptive, and even painful. Buddha taught how we can engage the imagination to see far beyond the confines of our ordinary thinking, and move us into extraordinary realms of possibility. The truth is, everything begins in the mind, including the most profound and beneficial accomplishments we can imagine.
