habits of happy people
finding happiness in daily life: the art of positive thinking
A 4 week Series with Resident Teacher Gen Tubchen
(each class is self contained so can be attended individually)
LEITH | JUNE 3, 10, 17 & 24| TUESDAYS 7-8.30PM
We tend to make the attainment of happiness more complicated than it actually is, by believing that we need things such as success, praise, status, looks and possessions etc. to achieve it. The reality is that none of these things can give us lasting happiness and chasing them actually makes us prone to anxiety, frustration and disappointment.
Of course one of the best habits we can develop is a daily meditation practice that will help us each day to be happy no matter what life throws at us!
Buddha also explains simple attitudes that we can all learn to cultivate that will make us really happy which we will explore each week through teachings and guided meditations. In this way we can learn to cultivate the happy minds of faith, love, compassion and wisdom, and through being guided by these pure minds we can deepen our ability to lead an ethical, considerate and meaningful life.
Fee: £10 per class | £30 full 4 week series | Members free
Includes light refreshments after class
Venue: Kadampa Meditation Centre Edinburgh | 172 Leith Walk, EH6 5EA
