Master Dao will be hosting a free worldwide meditation workshop on Monday, June 30th, 2025 at 7pm EST (4pm to 6pm PST). Join us in person at our downtown Toronto school location, or join us virtually through Zoom from anywhere in the world!
The topic for this session is "Overcoming Perceptual Illusions to Find Peace and Happiness".
This topic is a follow-up of the last session where Master Dao spoke about 'Finding Your Spiritual Path Through the Ego-Self'.
He spoke about 'Perceptual-Belief Holes', which are ideas that we believe are very important to us, and cause us to act and behave in a way that causes suffering to ourselves and others. They are like illusions because they are not 'real' in the material sense. We stumble into these holes through our experiences in life, and when we do not even know we are in one, we create blind spots in our ego-self which delay our Spiritual Journey.
Come meditate to calm your mind so that you can see more clearly how you can overcome much suffering by becoming more aware of these Perceptual-Belief holes and learning how to deal with them.
