Learn the essentials of meditation
WITH KELSANG VARAHI
Wednesdays | 6 – 7pm

We want to be happy all the time, even during sleep. How can we do this? We can do this through training in meditation, which makes our mind peaceful. When our mind is peaceful, we are happy all the time, regardless of our external circumstances.
In these classes, discover simple yet profound meditations that can be practised by anyone, helping us experience inner peace and mental clarity, and increasing our love and compassion for others. These classes are perfect for those who wish to build the foundations of a successful meditation practice.
Each class is self-contained so just drop in to any class. No experience is necessary. Everyone is welcome!

THE TEACHER
Kadampa Buddhist nun Kelsang Varahi has been a faithful disciple of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for over twenty years. Realising the importance of practical Buddhist teachings, she made the determination to share with others the precious instructions given by Geshe-la in his Dharma books.
