Essence Chöd: Finding Freedom in Letting Go

1:30pm to 3:30pm
Sunday 16th May
CWA Darling Downs
263 Margaret St, Toowoomba City, QLD
(also livestreamed)

Chöd means “to sever” or "cut through". Chöd is a highly transformative practice. What are we severing in Chöd? We are severing our ties to that which causes us to suffer – ignorance. The essence of chöd is to understand that all confused perceptions arise from grasping to self. It is this grasping to self that is our fundamental ignorance. Until we sever the root of confusion, confusion will persist in the form of disturbing emotions and delusion about what we are. To practice Essence Chöd is to reveal the truth of our nature, the empty essence that is the source of Buddhahood. In Essence Chöd we free the mind from grasping at concepts, delusions and illusions. The result is freedom from disturbing emotions such as fear, anger and greed and a flowering of clarity, wise discernment and active compassion.
