Upcoming Class Schedule & Topics
Understanding our Mind
Practical teachings and guided meditations with Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Tashi
Happiness and suffering are feelings – parts of our mind – and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind. If we really want to be truly happy and free from suffering we must improve our understanding of the mind. In this series of classes we will explore Buddha’s extraordinary teachings on the nature, function and powers of our mind. Through better understanding our own mind we will be empowered to transform it into more peaceful and positive states.
This series is based on the book “How to Understand the Mind” by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
