Online: Transcending Gender
with Ayyā Somā
Sunday, May 16th, 2021 | 9:00am – 11:00am ET
When we look at gender through the lens of delusion, we inevitably cause others and ourselves to suffer. But when we see with correct wisdom things as they actually are, peace of mind becomes manifest.
Buddhist monk Ayyā Somā will explore how the Buddha’s teachings encourage us to investigate gender—and all identities—and how to ultimately transcend it.
This evening is co-presented by Buddhist Insights.
