How does our mind work and manifest thoughts, feelings and our
perceptions? What is the underlying reality of our being? Every moment
of every day we are involved in, and dealing with the manifestations
of our bodies and the experiences and expressions of our minds. They
make up who we are and what we identify with most intimately. As we go
through life, we all experience manifold different states of physical
and mental challenges in the search of wellbeing.

During this teaching series we will explore the Buddha’s advice on how
to correctly view the reality of ones body and the productions of ones
mind when our aim is to reduce suffering. Teachings based on the 5
Skandhas and 51 Mental Events
