Upcoming Class Schedule & Topics
Understanding our Mind: Relying on Happy Minds
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. Through better understanding our own mind we will be empowered to transform it into more peaceful and positive states. In this series of classes we will explore Buddha’s teachings on how to find real happiness within our own mind through intentionally developing and maintaining peaceful and virtuous states of mind, such as faith, love, patience and compassion.
This series is based on the book “How to Understand the Mind” by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
