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

Four Ways to Create Joy
SATURDAYS, NOV 20, 27, DEC 4, 11 | 10.00-11.45 am
Reconnecting with family, friends and our community requires more than sharing a common space, we need to cultivate and share a common joy. Unlocking our potential for pure happiness will make our renewed relationships stronger and filled with more love.
with Krista Schlosser | Mariem Martinson | Sachi Tamura | Rae Supeene
30-Minute Noon Meditation
MONDAY to FRIDAY | 12.15-12.45pm
Take half an hour at lunchtime to relax, refresh and de-stress. Cultivate inner peace through a guided practice and enjoy the rest of your day with an inspired and positive mind. With regular practice these meditations help us to experience mental clarity, a sense of well-being, and increased love and compassion for others.
Solutions for our Human Problems
MONDAYS, NOV 22 – DEC 13 | 7.00-8.15pm
In the Sutra of Four Noble Truths, Buddha says: “You should know sufferings. You should abandon origins. You should attain cessations. You should practice the path.” By deeply understanding the four noble truths we shall develop a strong wish to be released from samsara and all its associated sufferings.

What Inspires You?
“May I become a protector for the protectorless,
A guide for those who travel on the road,
And, for those who wish to cross the water,
May I become a boat, a ship, or a bridge.
May I become an island for those seeking dry land,
A lamp for those needing light,
A place of rest for those who desire one,
And a servant for those needing service.”
