A clear and empowering antidote to our culture’s never-ending quest for more, author Billy Wynne will provide insight and instruction for cultivating the Buddhist principle of emptiness as the source of fundamental satisfaction, clarity, and joy in our lives. By exploring this often-misunderstood core teaching, Billy dispels the common misconception that peace and fulfillment come via accumulation or achievement. Instead, he presents “the art of lessening” as the path to appreciating the depth and beauty contained in each moment. Wynne uses real-life examples and accessible practices to help us realize our inherent wholeness, overcome the barriers to lasting happiness, and replace anxiety with unbounded gratitude and ease.
This lecture will include didactic teaching regarding Buddhist ideas relating to emptiness, real world examples for applying these concepts to your daily life, instruction in mindfulness techniques, and brief guided meditation practice.
Billy Wynne is the author of The Empty Path: Finding Fulfillment through the Radical Art of Lessening. A student of Buddhism and mindfulness for 30 years, he received meditation teaching certification under Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach and lay Zen Buddhist ordination from the Zen Center of Denver, where he now teaches classes and serves on the board. He lives in Denver with his wife, children, and shih-poos, Oscar and Archie. Visit him online at https://billywynne.com.
