OCTOBER COURSE
Making Happiness Happen ~ with Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang | October 17th, 24th & 31st
Everyone wants to be happy, but we don’t always understand it is a choice we can make. Happiness is a state of mind, and like any positive state of mind we can learn how it can be strengthened through the practice of meditation. Therefore, we can make a choice to be happy in our life by training in meditation. According to Buddha, authentic happiness does not depend upon amassing external conditions, such as wealth, beauty, status and so on, but rather its main ingredient is inner peace, and meditation is essential for developing inner peace and happiness.
On this three-week course Gen-la Kunsang will offer advice and encouragement on how to develop inner peace and integrate the practice of meditation into our daily lives.
