Living in the Moment - a meditation half-day course
Saturday 18th September 1pm - 4pm With Kelsang Kyobpa.
Action Potential Centre, 316 Cameron Rd, Tauranga
In our busy lives we find it very difficult to relax and enjoy the moment. Even while we are doing the things we like, our mind is never in the present _ we are constantly making plans for the future or worrying about what might happen next. In this course we will learn how to let go of this bad mental habit so that we can make the most of every moment of our life and begin to discover its true meaning.
Cost $30 (includes afternoon tea), booking essential.

Meditation is a way of calming the mind, making us more peaceful, balanced and focused in our daily lives. Ultimately, it enables us to awaken our spiritual potential and find lasting joy and contentment.

Buddhism is a path of individual transformation. It teaches us to look within ourselves for the inner peace and happiness we seek. By developing a more positive outlook, and in particular by deepening our wisdom and compassion, we can improve the quality of our life and gain great power to help others.
