Class Topics
Buddhist Hacks for Happiness – begins week 5 May (4 weeks)
Learn Buddha’s essential life hacks to keep a peaceful mind, increase our good qualities and benefit others. They really work!
Why me? Understanding Karma – begins week 2 June (4 weeks)
We often wonder ‘why me!’ when things go wrong. Understanding the law of karma helps us to understand correctly why we experience endless miseries and shows us how to create the causes of real happiness and good fortune. Meditating on the law of karma is like looking in a mirror that shows us what to abandon and what to practice. By developing conviction in the law of karma we can protect our self from future suffering and build the foundation for future happiness. Essential advice for everyone.
What to expect at a class
These classes are based on Buddha’s teachings on the mind, but you do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, or to benefit from them.
Each class consists of two guided meditations and an explanatory talk. The classes run for 90 minutes.
Anyone can practice meditation and everyone is welcome to attend. There is no physical exercise involved and you can choose to sit either in a chair or on a cushion.
These classes are suitable for all levels of experience.
