Do you ever feel like you're navigating life without any sense of direction and no map? In our competitive world, it’s easy to get caught in an endless cycle of busy work and demands while losing sight of what truly matters. In this talk we will discuss a clear and structured framework, a "spiritual GPS", to help you navigate life’s challenges with clarity and deep purpose.

Drawing from Buddhist classic texts, we will explore:
-How to find reliable guidance and cultivate a mental attitude of growth. (teacher-student relationship)
-Improving our perspective, understanding the preciousness of time and the ripple effect of our daily choices (cause/effect or karma).
-Identifying personal habits that cause obstacles to happiness and learning the path to true freedom (afflictive emotions).
-Living from the heart and how to move from "me" to "we" by developing authentic compassion and a sense of greater purpose (bodhicitta).

Aimed at those curious about Buddhism, the discussion will be about providing tools and views to explore in your life. The blueprint for spiritual practice provided can help you lead a wiser and more kind life. Whether you seek relief from stress, personal development, or a deeper resilience and altruistic life.
