Announcing Guest Speaker
GLENN MULLIN

Saturday, March 28, 7:30 – 9pm with
FEARLESS WISDOM IN A VIOLENT WORLD

Sunday, March 29, 2 – 6pm with
THE FIVE BUDDHA FAMILIES

Available via Webinar and at

Jewel Heart International, 1129 Oak Valley Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108

FEARLESS WISDOM IN A VIOLENT WORLD
Saturday, March 28, 7:30 – 9pm

Fear and violence have become a common default response to threats experienced in the world today, engendering minds of suspicion, anger, hatred and revenge. These perceptions do nothing to abate our fear, protect no one, and solve nothing. Yet they tend to rise at all levels of our lives, whether with family and friends, or with our broader communities, local or global.

How do we become fearless in the face of fear and act with confident wisdom to fully meet threat and create positive change? We invite you to join Glenn Mullin Saturday evening for this very pertinent and challenging topic.

THE FIVE BUDDHA FAMILIES
Sunday, March 29, 2 – 6pm

The potential for realization of the five Buddha families pervades all beings without exception, with each Buddha embodying a different aspect of enlightenment. When these aspects are not enlightened, they will manifest as afflicted states of mind. By purifying and abandoning the five disturbing emotions of obsession, anger/hatred, ignorance, pride and jealousy, they will emerge as the five wisdoms and function as the five Buddha families.

Join us for this introduction to this deeper nature of our innermost being with practice steps to effect transformation.

GLENN MULLIN is a Tibetologist, Buddhist writer, translator of classical Tibetan literature, and teacher of Tantric Buddhist meditation. He lived in the Indian Himalayas between 1972 and 1984, and studied philosophy, literature,meditation, yoga, and the enlightenment culture under thirty-five of the greatest living masters of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Glenn is the author of over 20 books on TibetanBuddhism, founded and directed the Mystical Arts of Tibet, and has curated anumber of important Tibetan art exhibitions.
