If our mind is not peaceful, we will never be happy, even if our material conditions are perfect. For example, when we are enjoying ourself with our friends at a party, if we become angry for some reason, the moment we get angry our happiness disappears. This is because anger has destroyed our inner peace, our mental peace. Without inner peace there is no real happiness at all.
So, on this weekend we will find our own inner peace through being guided in simple meditation practices and in this way establish good habits to take into our busy daily lives. Everybody is welcome to join.
