Maintaining a Steady Mind

In this week’s Detox Series Webinar, Venerable Dr. Juewei and Buddhist Solicitor Tina Ng will be exploring how we can deal with our inner worlds when our outer worlds are in turmoil.

While our world today is undergoing unprecedented change, our minds have always been our greatest challenge. Our fears and anxieties often arise out of the notion that we are in control of everything around us. But what happens if we stop trying to control situations, and allow life to happen? Join the conversation to learn about how we can work towards accepting the uncertainty of life and maintain a steady mind.
