Modern Buddhism for everyone!

Saturday 30th August | 10am-1pm

We usually think that our happiness and problems come from outside of ourself. However, happiness and suffering are feelings which are part of our mind so if we want to be truly happy and free from problems we must learn how to control our mind.

Learn how we can skilfully and effectively train in controlling our mind through simple meditation practices and discover the amazing potential that lies within our mind for deep inner peace and happiness without depending on external conditions.

Saturday 30th August | 2pm-5pm

If we want a happy life we need the wisdom to understand the source of our happiness and suffering. Using this wisdom we can eliminate negative minds that bring us problems and cultivate positive minds that bring happiness to ourself and others. The root of our problems is not understanding the true nature of things. When we have the wisdom realising that everything is the nature of our mind, like appearances in a dream, we can free ourself from our suffering and enjoy a happy and purposeful life.

When we feel depressed life can feel miserable and overwhelming and there seems to be no hope of this experience ending. However, we can change this situation by learning simple meditations that bring a sense of inner peace and happiness. These are reliable methods that we can integrate into our daily life making our mind balanced and peaceful. Through practising meditations on love and compassion we can uplift our mind and find a joyful, purposeful life that brings great benefit to others.

Today you can explore how to identify and solve all our human problems, all our unpleasant feelings. Usually our negative states of mind, such as uncontrolled desire and anger, create endless problems for ourselves and others and prevent us from fulfilling our deepest wishes for real happiness. What we really need are clear and simple solutions to our inner pain. Buddha offered us a vast range of methods to take into our life guiding us to an oasis of peace within our hearts.

In our lives there are many difficult and unpleasant circumstances that we cannot avoid, but we can certainly avoid the unhappiness and anger that these circumstances normally provoke in us. It is often our habitual negative reactions to hardships, and our habit of not forgetting them, rather than the hardship itself, that disturb our day-to-day peace of mind.

On this day we can explore how to let go of resentful thoughts and other negative emotions so we can lead a peaceful life. Everybody welcome!

Sunday 9th November | 10am-5pm

Meditation has many benefits: it overcomes inner problems such as those created by anger, jealousy, pride, and uncontrolled desires; it controls our mind and brings inner peace; it enables us to cultivate positive intentions that lead us to perform good actions; and it prevents negative intentions that lead us to do or say harmful things.

On this short one-day retreat we can find our inner peace and learn the methods to maintain a peaceful life. Everybody welcome!
