Tuesday Evening Meditation Class

7pm – 8.15pm

Keeping Your Cool  | August 18th & 25th | with Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang

When things are going our way it is not so difficult to stay calm and relaxed. But when our plans go wrong, or when people are difficult or critical, it is much harder to maintain a happy and positive state of mind.

On this short two-week course, Gen-la Kunsang will offer some invaluable advice on how we can use Buddhist wisdom to keep our cool and stay calm when things go wrong.

About the Course

This short course introduces simple, practical meditation techniques designed to help you connect with and develop your Buddha nature. Through guided meditations and clear explanations, you’ll learn how to:

  • Calm and focus your mind
  • Let go of stress, anxiety, and negative thinking
  • Cultivate inner peace and emotional balance
  • Develop a more positive and compassionate outlook

These methods are easy to follow and can be applied in everyday life, helping you build a stable sense of happiness that doesn’t depend on external circumstances.

Who Is This For?

This course is suitable for everyone—whether you’re completely new to meditation or looking to deepen your existing practice. No prior experience is needed.

Start Your Journey

Take the first step toward a more peaceful and meaningful life. By gradually developing your inner potential, you can discover a lasting source of happiness and wellbeing from within.

Everybody is welcome.

Six Steps to a Happy Life

Everyone wants to experience happiness and be from suffering, we all share these basic wishes. But how can we accomplish them? Many self-help strategies offer temporary solutions to our problems that can be useful for a while, but sooner or later the problems seem to return.

On this six-week course we will look at the root causes of happiness and suffering – and the lasting solution to all our problems – in six simple steps. Gen-la Kunsang will introduce six practical and life-changing meditations which, if applied in our daily lives, will bring about a deep transformation rather than a short-term solution.

Everyone is welcome.
