Understand Your Mind

How Buddhist psychology unpacks different facets of our mind to give us insights into finding inner peace.

When we seek to find who we truly are, we may find ourselves identifying with our mind. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions and opinions colour so much of how we see and interact with the world around us.

In this teaching, Dominique Side will show how Buddhist psychology unpacks different facets of our mind to give us a clearer understanding of what mind is and how it functions. This gives us insights into how we can work with our mind to find a way out of our suffering and reveal our own capacity for inner peace.
