Trusting Your Inner Guru

Before many meditations, Tibetan Buddhists recite the refuge prayer, honouring the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. In this talk, we’ll explore a secular, psychological perspective on this practice - shifting from relying solely on external teachers, teachings, and communities, toward discovering refuge within ourselves. The “inner guru” is the radiant, wise nature already present in each of us, waiting beneath the fog of self-doubt and distraction. Together, we’ll reflect on how to connect with and trust this inner wisdom - so that in meditation and in life, we can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-trust
