Perception: Creating Our Reality 

Evening talk by Senior Tergar Instructor Edwin Kelley on gaining wisdom and balance through fully engaging with the way things are.

From birth our mind creates meaning from all our experiences. This perceived meaning comes to define who we are, how we think, and how we define our reality. What if there were some fundamental flaws in this process? During this evening we will examine the ways in which we mistakenly perceive reality and through analytical meditation discover how we can see things as they truly are.

These evenings include a period of meditation, a time to share informally with the community, a short talk by the instructor and a period of open discussion on how we are working with these aspects of our lives. The evening is open to all, beginners and experienced meditators alike, and is a great opportunity for us to delve deeper as a community into the richness of bringing meditation into our everyday lives.

This public talk is freely offered by the Tergar community. We are deeply grateful to our community members, who generously offer their time, energy, and financial contributions to make this possible. If you would like to join the team and help us to offer the gift of meditation to the world, please email andi.tmsp@gmail.com to ask about volunteering, or click here to make a tax-deductible donation.
