With our Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Thekchen.

When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be free from problems, we must transform our mind. Using practical instructions and meditations from Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s book “New 8 Steps to Happiness”, Gen Thekchen will lead two meditations and give a short teaching.

26 April: Understanding the source of our problems
3 May: The art of Patient Acceptance
10 May: Compassion Training
17 May: The magical practice of taking and giving

"The meditation classes are great. They are not religious in anyway but give a perfect introduction to meditation and how to apply meditation in daily life."

ChristopherCourse Attendee

"The silent mornings were quite enlightening and the location, with the centres' tranquil gardens, and the beach so nearby, is perfect. You would not think, when inside the centres' grounds, that you were in the middle of a bustling city."
