Contentment :: A Morning Meditation Course
with Kelsang KyobpaSaturday 10th March • 9.15am - 12.30pm
Takapuna : Mary Thomas Centre, 3 Gibbons Rd View Map
In our search for happiness, we use our time and energy seeking so many different things. We may change our job, our partner, our home, our situation, but we will never know real satisfaction until we change our restless, discontented mind. The mind of desirous attachment is the main cause of our discontent, relationship difficulties and craving.
On this course we will learn practical methods and Buddhist meditations that enable us to let go of attachment and find peace in our circumstances. When our mind is free from distraction and craving we are able to enjoy its natural stillness and live in the present moment. Life doesn't always go to plan but through the practice of contentment we can learn to keep a happy mind in all situations.
Cost $30 (includes morning tea). Booking essential.
