Teacher: Kelsang Sama
* Seating on chairs *
We all want lasting happiness, but life's challenges often leave us feeling stressed, overwhelmed or dissatisfied. This makes lasting happiness appear elusive and out of reach, and yet Buddha's teachings reveal that real happiness cannot be found in external conditions but only within our own mind, through developing inner peace.
In this five-week series, learn practical methods to develop and maintain a peaceful mind, even in the midst of a busy modern life. Through guided meditations and practical advice, discover how to experience greater inner peace and a pure form of happiness that comes from within.
“If our mind is peaceful, we will be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions, but if it is disturbed or troubled in any way, we will never be happy, no matter how good our external conditions may be.”

Recognising Your Mental Crowd
Learn what holds you back from experiencing inner peace and happiness from moment to moment. By recognising the negative mental habits that arise within the mind, and understanding how they shape our everyday experience, we can gradually reduce their power over us and begin to discover the path to true freedom.
Everybody welcome. No previous meditation experience is necessary.
Each class consists of a short talk, guided meditations and discussion. The classes are self-contained, so you can attend any individual session or the full series.
