There are many causes and conditions that create suffering in our lives. Mostly, we think of things that exist outside of ourselves: racism, poverty, gender bias, job challenges, etc. In this daylong we will examine how internalized conditioning unconsciously contributes to our own suffering. We will explore Ahimsa (non-harming) and the Buddha’s teachings on impermanence, suffering, and no self – and how, with wise understanding, we can ease the suffering caused by internalized oppression.
