We are beginning 2023 with a new class in London with a special introductory class in January.

This class consists of guided meditations and teachings that we can contemplate and practice throughout the week. Each contemplation has a practical application to solve our daily problems. Through putting effort into applying these teachings to our daily lives, we can make great progress increasing our own inner peace. Through engaging in meditation practice we can develop and maintain a peaceful mind all the time. If we have a peaceful mind all the time we will be happy all the time, regardless of whether our conditions are good or bad. Now is the time to train in inner peace and happiness by putting Buddha’s teachings into practice.

Class Series Topics

Special Class: Finding Peace - Meditation, Inner Health and Happiness

Where do our problems come from? Are problems found outside the mind or within our unpeaceful states of mind? By understanding whatever problems we experience come from the mind, we can learn to respond to difficult situations with a positive and peaceful mind. In this way, we can transform our problems into challenges or opportunities for growth and development. We can learn to solve our daily problems with deep understanding of the teaching that problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind.

We can all achieve inner peace and happiness through regular meditation training we will gain a deep experience of the capacity of our mind to experience inner peace and improve our overall health and well-being.

This class is based on the books How to Transform Your Life and The New Eight Steps to Happiness. Come along and learn how to make your life deeply meaningful.
