HAPPY NEW MIND
The New Year offers us a special opportunity to pause and reflect, and to think deeply about the changes we would like to see in our lives. As one year ends and a new one begins we suddenly become more open to the idea of transformation, and we’re ready to take up new perspectives and tune into our deeper potential for growth and development.
Whatever New Year’s Resolutions we may have this year, in essence we’re all seeking to fulfill what Buddha called our ‘heart wish’ – the same basic desire to increase happiness and reduce suffering and problems. By learning to develop inner peace we can start to access a deeper source of happiness from within, and by establishing a daily practice of meditation we can learn to make every day of the year ahead meaningful.
This four week series will explore key areas in how to train our mind through meditation with a focus on the development of our own deep inner peace and how to return to this state of mind when we need it most.
Everybody welcome.

life & everything after
3 WEEK SERIES WITH GEN KELSANG WANGMO
LEITH | FEB 7, 14, 21 TUESDAYS 7-8.15pm
LIFE & EVERYTHING AFTER
Taking control of your direction and perspective
According to Buddha, our human life has three unique qualities. It is precious, rare and meaningful. Despite this, as we can often get caught up in the small stuff, we can easily come to view our life as ordinary, boring, and even pointless!
By grasping at permanence – the sense that things are fixed and static – it is easy to take other people and our good conditions for granted. In turn, this prevents us from taking a step a back, putting this fleeting life into context and feeling grateful and appreciative for what we have now and what we can do to invest in our happiness for our future and indeed our future lives. In essence, this limited view blocks our access to the spiritual path – the inner insights and realizations which hold the potential for profound happiness and transformation.
During this meditation series we will discover how to develop an appreciation for every moment of our precious human life, and through that to understand our astonishing potential for growth and development.
Everybody welcome.
