Why meditate?
Because meditation reduces stress, opens inner calm, and gives us clarity to handle life with confidence and compassion.

A peaceful mind = genuine happiness.
Everything begins there.

“We need to learn the secret of inner peace by meditating.” – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

We reflect with gratitude on the immeasurable kindness of others—family, teachers, friends, and even strangers whose efforts support our life. By recognizing this kindness, we naturally develop a wish to repay it through love and compassionate action.

May all beings experience peace and happiness.

🌿 “Impermanence spares nothing and no one.” — Buddha.

From the book ‘The New Eight Steps to Happiness’

We often cling to moments—good or bad—as if they’ll last forever. But everything we experience is constantly changing: emotions, relationships, challenges, even our own identity.

Instead of resisting change, Buddhist wisdom encourages us to embrace it.

✨ When we remember impermanence:
• We value the people in our lives more deeply
• We let go of grievances more easily
• We stop postponing the things that truly matter
• We become more peaceful, flexible, and grateful.

From Sunday’s class.

🧘‍♂️ Meditation isn’t about stopping your thoughts… it’s about changing your relationship with them.
Most people give up before they even begin because of this one misconception.
Let’s meditate Charlotte. ✨
