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.

The Ultimate Path to Freedom
The practice of the stages of the path to liberation can be condensed into the three higher trainings of higher moral discipline, higher concentration and higher wisdom. These trainings are called ‘higher’ because they are motivated by renunciation. They are therefore the actual path to liberation that we need to practise.

The Liberating Power of Pure Imagination
What kind of world does a Buddha see? Buddhas or enlightened beings perceive only pure things, a pure world. Because only complete purity appears to a Buddha’s mind, a Buddha experiences only pure happiness. How can we come to perceive our impure world in the way that a Buddha perceives a pure world?

Intro to Buddhist Meditation
Problems only arise because we respond to situations with a negative state of mind. When we become familiar with cultivating a calm and peaceful mind we begin to understand that it is possible to respond to challenging life situations skillfully.

Developing the Mind of Love for Everyone
We all wish to experience enduring love. But how do we maintain harmony in our relationships? How do we avoid our relationships sliding into fault-finding and resentment, or indifference? This 5-part series will explore how to develop a wisdom-based love that seeks to benefit all living beings. Such an open-hearted love lays the foundation for a truly joyful and meaningful approach to life.

Keeping Peaceful in a Turbulent World
There are many serious issues in our modern world that feel beyond our control — but despite this, our inner peace can be nurtured and sustained. Buddha’s teachings offer many practical tools that allow us to acknowledge challenges without becoming overwhelmed. With peaceful minds, we can skillfully respond to whatever is happening in our daily lives and also be helpful to others.

In Pursuit of Happiness
Everyone wants to be happy, and no one wants to suffer, but very few people understand what is the real cause of happiness, and what is the real cause of suffering. Throughout history human beings have sought to improve their external situation, yet despite all our efforts many would say we are no happier. Where do we look to find this happiness that seems so elusive?
