On March 19, Dr. B. Alan Wallace will lead a workshop at Tibet House US on the Four Types Of Inner Balance, which will be Live-streamed via Zoom.

How do we cultivate emotional resilience and inner well-being without necessarily relying on an elaborate philosophical system — in other words, what are the bare bones of our mind that absolutely require our attention and care if we are to seek happiness?

In this workshop, based on his work on the Cultivating Emotional Balance teaching system, Alan Wallace will walk us through the four types of inner balance: attentional, cognitive, emotional and conative (i.e. related to desires). These four universal domains are arguably at the core of any type of comprehensive psychological or spiritual work. Mastering practices associated with them would be a huge gift to ourselves and others.

You can read more about the workshop here.

This is part of a series of teachings on Cultivating Emotional Balance sponsored by Tibet House US, offered by Dr. Eve Ekman and Venerable Lobsang Tenpa.
Read more about the additional teachings on March 12, and also from April 16 through June 25, 2022.
