PART 1: THE SEARCH FOR THE MIND

The Dhammapada tells us “Everything has mind in the lead, has mind in the forefront, is made by mind”. But what is the mind? This series of four evening explores various aspects of working with the mind in a Buddhist context. This first week introduces the series and uses Milarepa’s text “The Shepherd’s Search for Mind” to begin our journey; we will try to answer for ourselves the questions that the Tibetan sage poses to the young shepherd.
