How well do you know your mind? Can you predict when you will be happy or sad, uplifted or angry? Can you see these emotions as they are developing within you? Can you control them? Did you know that this is even possible?!

In this 5-week series, we will look at the workings of our own mind through the lens of Buddha’s wisdom. This understanding will provide us with illuminating insights about our own daily experiences, why they happen, and how we can control them.
