Meditation classes
PRAYERS FOR WORLD PEACE – SUNDAY 1 FEBRUARY
Prayers for World Peace is a free class that gives us the opportunity to develop a warm and loving heart. The class includes a Dharma talk, meditation and short prayers.
THURSDAY MEDITATION CLASS
Everyone wishes to be happy. But because we associate happiness with external situations, such as enjoyments, relationships, jobs and so on, all of which are temporary and unreliable, we fail to find the true happiness we long for. In reality, happiness is actually a state of mind. Therefore, the true cause of happiness is in the mind. Buddha has clearly demonstrated that it is definitely within our reach. We shall explore how Buddhist meditations are designed and directly take us to the true source of happiness within us.
Every year the New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU) organises three International Festivals of modern Kadampa Buddhism taught by senior Teachers.
