A Path with a
Happy Heart
(for complete beginners and the more experienced)
This class will be based on the book "Eight Steps
To Happiness" by the living Meditation Master
and Director of the NKT, Ven. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
and taught by senior student, Bob Buchman.
When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind. If we responded to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us. Eventually, we might even regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore if we want to be free from problems, we must transform our mind.
This is a beginning level class and is offered on
a drop-in basis; it is not necessary to have attended
previous classes to benefit from this class. Join
