Seeing Through Core Beliefs: The End Of An Old Story
With Suryacitta (The Happy Buddha)Many of the struggles we face in life are rooted in a handful of deeply held core beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. These beliefs often operate unnoticed, quietly shaping our thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. In this three-session course, we will explore how these old stories are created, how they are sustained, and most importantly, how to see through them. Through awareness and direct observation, it becomes possible to loosen their grip and discover a freedom that was never dependent upon them. What remains is a simpler, more natural way of being. What is offered here is not psychological analysis, but a gentle unravelling—a melting away of the beliefs that shape how we see ourselves and the world.

Meet your Teacher
Suryacitta has been practising Buddhism for over 30 years and is the author of five books on meditation, compassion and awareness. In recent years, however, he has moved beyond the institutions and complexities often associated with traditional approaches, pointing instead to something much simpler and more immediate: self-realisation as a possibility available to anyone willing to look directly at their own experience. What we are seeking is not something to attain in the future. It is not an idea, belief or concept — it is what is already here, what you are. Simple, direct, and without unnecessary complication. Suryacitta does not teach from notes or a script, and he prefers it that way. This allows him to respond in the moment, discovering fresh ways of expressing what is being shared and keeping the teaching alive, spontaneous and experiential. The trade-off is that you may occasionally hear a few more “umms” and “ahhs” along the way — a small price for authenticity and presence.
