ABOUT THIS COURSE
The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful.
If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions.
If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful and we create an inner space and clarity that enables us to control our mind regardless of the external circumstances.
We will experience a purer and purer form of happiness.
Gradually we develop mental equilibrium, a balanced mind that is happy all the time, rather than an unbalanced mind that oscillates between the extremes of excitement and despondency.

DETAILS
These classes are based on Buddha’s teachings on the mind, but you do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, or to benefit from them. There is no physical exercise involved and we sit in chairs. These classes are suitable for all levels of experience. Coffee, tea and snacks are provided.

– Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
