5 Buddhist Insights that Change Everything - 12th December

with Gen Kelsang Dornying | 5 week course | Nov 21, 28, Dec 5, 12, 19 | 7.30-8.45pm

Do you feel like you’re wandering aimlessly through life? Even when things are going well do you feel dissatisfied and unfulfilled? What about your relationships — are they satisfying and harmonious, or up and down like a yo-yo? While our day-to-day experiences might differ, we all have this in common: we want to feel happy and content all the time and for many of us, this remains elusive. More than two thousand years ago, Buddha shared profound insights that comprised a step-by-step journey to inner peace and happiness. In our next series of weekly meditation classes, we'll explore this journey and how to unify it with our busy modern lives.

Everyone is welcome | Free for Members | Classes are £8 or £30 for 5 weeks. PLEASE NOTE: These classes are in-person only

The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful we shall be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we shall experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful we shall find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions. If we train in meditation our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we shall experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually we shall be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances.
