Protection from Fear - Becoming Your Own Protector Through The Practice Of Going for Refuge

We have so many fears: loneliness, poverty, sickness, rejection, failure, death, mental disease, the future of this world and our children …. What do we turn to protect us from fear and anxiety, especially these days? What can we rely upon? What is actually trustworthy? During this course the teacher will guide us through the Buddhist practice of going for refuge. In the first part of the course we will learn to face our fears and transform them, primarily by learning how the source of all fear lies within our own minds, in particular in our misapprehensions of reality. In the second part of the course, we will explore the Buddhist objects of refuge known as the Three Jewels, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Through understanding how to rely on them we develop an inner trust and confidence in our own ability to transform our difficulties and fears. In this way our lives and relationships become paths leading towards the joyful, fearless and compassionate state of enlightenment. We not only become our own protectors, but we also learn to become protectors of others.
