Buddhist Meditation
The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions.
Join us for weekly guided meditations, talk and discussion. Everyone welcome!
SERIES 2: Delusions and How They Short-circuit Our Happiness
October 5, 12, 19, 26 | 10.30-11.30am
IN-PERSON
Our own source of peace and happiness is within our mind. We may find however, that it is not so easy to maintain a continually peaceful mind. This is because of the delusions that so often take over our mind. Buddha’s teachings reveal how delusions function and how we can learn to let them go.
