As we approach the first retreat on Mingyur Rinpoche’s teachings on Abhidharma, Buddhist Psychology: Exploring Reality Retreat - August 9–12, we wanted to share some of Tergar Instructor Cortland Dahl’s thoughts:

“When many of us begin to meditate, we usually have some sense that we want to make a change in our lives.

But usually, what is missing is a clear sense of the path.

It is not always obvious to us what we should do — what steps we can take to get things on track.

“In the Buddhist tradition, there are tried-and-tested methods for training and transforming the mind that have been around for centuries. This year, in the Tergar community, we will explore a set of teachings from the ‘Abhidharma tradition.’ This is basically a road map for understanding the human mind.

“We are learning the most important principles that help us to get a clear sense of how the mind works when we suffer and what it is that gets us into this loop of dissatisfaction, stress, overwhelm, and anxiety.

“Why and how does that happen in the first place? More importantly, how can we train the mind so it operates in a healthier way?

How can we learn to have healthier, more supportive interactions and relationships with other people?

And in particular, how can we become more insightful and wise?”
