Thirsk – Tuesday evening meditation class
Potential of the Mind | April 1st & 8th | with Richard Hoyle
Happiness and suffering are parts of the mind; the former is a joyful feeling and the latter is an unpleasant feeling. Since happiness and suffering are parts of the mind, if we want to avoid suffering and find true happiness we need to understand the nature and functions of the mind.
On this short two-week course, Richard Hoyle will explain how developing a clearer understanding of the nature and function of our own mind enables us to find lasting freedom from suffering and problems.
