WHY MEDITATE?
Happiness is a state of mind, therefore the real source of happiness lies in the mind, not in external situations. When our mind is peaceful we are free from worries and mental discomfort, and we experience true happiness.
“If we want to experience true, lasting happiness, we need to learn the secret of inner peace by meditating.” Ven Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

COURSES & RETREATS
To Transform Your Life
The Inner Balance of Equanimity
Monday, JAN 17 | 7.00-8.15 pm
In this class, we will focus on understanding equanimity and then developing the experience of equanimity through meditation. Equanimity is a warm and friendly feeling towards all living beings. Equanimity frees our mind from unbalanced attitudes such as anger, jealousy and fear. Join us and re-balance your mind for 2022.
