- Theme: "Finding Freedom Within - Buddhist Perspectives on Depression" (flyer)
Have you ever been depressed? It would be difficult to find anyone who has never felt the sting of depression. Whether it descends on you occasionally or haunts you continually, it is a demon that can surface at anytime, an unwelcome guest in any home. So with all the pain it causes, does depression have any value at all? Nichiren Buddhism explains how Buddhist practice enables us to develop the hope, hardiness and resilience to face depression and to transform depression into a tool for personal development. Please join us for an enlightened and lively discussion on this interesting topic.
"There may be times when life seems gloomy and dul. At such times we must transform our passive mind-sets and determine, I will proceed along this path, I will pursue my mission today. When we do so, a genuine spring time arrives in our hearts and flowers start to blossom." (Daisaku Ikeda)
