Tibetan Buddhist teacher Anam Thubten will be giving a public talk on Thursday, March 14, at St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Sun Valley Road in Ketchum at 7 p.m. Suggested donation is $15 but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
There are three important aspects of meditation: mindful attention, open awareness and lovingkindness. By practicing these, we can let go of negative mental patterns and expand our heart and mind, bringing about joy, peace and inner freedom. Anam Thubten will teach and guide participants in developing these three aspects of meditation and share Buddhist wisdom on working with our thoughts and emotions.
Anam Thubten grew up in Tibet and at an early age began to practice in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He is the founder and spiritual advisor of the Dharmata Foundation located in the Bay Area of California. He teaches widely in the U.S. and abroad. He is also the author of various articles and books in both the Tibetan and English language. Anam Thubten is extremely fluent in English and he brings alive the timeless teachings and essential wisdom of Buddhism through his own personal experience on the spiritual path.
