How to Transform Your Life
with Gen Kelsang Tubchen
September 3, 10, 17, 24
“Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible” – Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
If we learn to transform our mind through meditation, we gain the ability to change our life by changing our experience of our life.
Everybody needs to be good-natured with a good heart, because then we can solve our own problems as well as those of others, and we can make ourself and others happy.
This series of drop-in classes will be based on the book How to Transform Your Life by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. This practical manual for daily life shows how we can develop authentic inner peace, overcome daily problems and bring about positive changes in our life that enable us to experience deep and lasting happiness. Everyone welcome!
Meditation & Modern Buddhism
with Gen Kelsang Tubchen
October 8 – December 17
Why do we teach Modern Buddhism?
The meditation we teach at our classes comes originally from the Buddha and has been practised for over 2600 years. In that time the world has changed immeasurably but what hasn’t changed is our search for happiness and contentment in life. Despite the benefits of living in the 21st century we still encounter difficulties, hardship, dissatisfaction and unhappiness.
This on-going series of classes will go step by step through all the extraordinary methods Buddha taught for working with our mind, developing a good heart, understanding our reality and discovering how we can profoundly transform it.
You don’t have to be Buddhist to benefit from the classes as they are specifically designed to be accessible to modern people of all backgrounds. All you need is a mind, and the wish to improve it!
These classes are based on the book Modern Buddhism in which the author, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso says:
“Through reading and practicing the instructions given in this book, people can solve their daily problems and maintain a happy mind all the time.”
