Sensei Shaku Mui
Held In-Person at the Jung Center
Live only, not recorded
$50, CEUs: 2

This program invites participants to explore the ancient truth that outer conflict cannot be resolved without first cultivating peace within. Drawing from esoteric Buddhist teachings (Hongaku Mikkyō Jōdo, Khyentse lineage)and and Jungian depth psychology), we will discuss the process of transforming the inner world as the basis for global healing.

Why Inner Peace Comes First:
Jung observed that “the world hangs by a thin thread — and that thread is the psyche of man.” Inner conflict, unacknowledged shadows, and disconnection from our true nature, fuel collective unrest. In Vajrayāna Buddhism, the disturbed mind is not suppressed but transmuted into clarity and compassion. Peace is not merely the absence of disturbance but the radiant expression of our inherent Buddha-nature.

This session will include guided meditation, symbolic reflection, and group dialogue. It offers practical tools to maintain inner peace as a resilient, dynamic state — not an escape from life but a deeper engagement with it.
