    Info

    The Art of Positive Thinking

    Is your glass half full or half empty? Whether we experience a happy, meaningful life full of exciting challenges and opportunities for growth, or a stressful, unhappy life full of difficulties and problems, all depends on our way of thinking! Happiness and suffering are states of mind; with meditation, we can train ourselves to think positively and to maintain an authentic experience of inner peace, even in difficult situations, and discover the potential for lasting happiness and joy within our own minds.

    Come and discover the Art of Positive Thinking!

    The evening will include a talk, guided meditation and time for Q&A

    Teacher

    Taught by Buddhist monk and Resident Teacher of Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre, Gen Kelsang Tharpa
