Kadam Adam Starr is Resident Teacher in Tara KMC, Dublin.

Here he encourages us to find balance in our lives—particularly the balance between inner and outer development. He explains that it is through finding this balance that we gain the ability to enjoy our good conditions and achievements, develop harmonious relationships, and, especially, the strength to deal with life’s challenges. Based on the teachings of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

We hope you enjoy!

How is your pursuit of happiness going? If in any doubt, you may find this meditation concept of value.

That although we all search for happiness we don't actually know how to be happy. We don't understand how our mind works and how we can experience genuine happiness.

This is something that you can learn through listening to teachings and meditating on how to be happy.

And in order to teach this, we have a special guest teacher coming to visit us next month!

This is the third year in a row that Gen Tonglam has come to visit us and they get packed out!

Book early if you'd like to come to this special event!

What a fantastic event yesterday on the Isle of Wight! A brilliant turn out and such a successful event.

We always enjoy heading over to the Isle of Wight to devlier meditaton classes. Thanks to our Resident Teacher Gen Lekma for delivering this session, to our team of volunteers and all who attended the day.

We've got requests for more teachings so we'll be back!

How much meditation do we need to do to feel the benefits? Do we need to find lots of extra time for it? Gen Lekma has the answer 🙏

We thought we'd share this great podcast from Kadam Morten,

He talks about how to make sure our relationships are not just harmonious but an opportunity for spiritual growth. Our relationships, even the most challenging ones, become powerful tools for transformation when we understand the benefit of having those challenges in our life. Then, every interaction becomes an opportunity to grow, turning life itself into a meaningful journey toward inner freedom and lasting happiness. Based on the book How to Transform Your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

We really enjoyed listening to this, hope you do too!
