Buddhist Teachings on Confidence, Courage, and Resilience
Saturday, March 21st 9:30am-1:30pm
with Kadam Rebecca Gauthier
What would it feel like to move through life without being ruled by fear, self-doubt, or anxiety? According to Buddhist teachings, fearlessness isn't the absence of difficulty — it's a profound inner stability that we can cultivate through wisdom and practice.
In this course, we explore what the Dharma has to say about the roots of fear and insecurity, and how the Buddha's teachings offer a genuine path to lasting courage. Drawing on Kadampa Buddhist teachings, we'll examine how attachment and self-grasping fuel our fears, how compassion and wisdom dissolve them, and how practices like meditation, refuge, and bodhichitta can build an unshakeable foundation within.
