This course will help us to manage our emotions and control our thoughts and feelings through mindfulness and other mental tools. Normally we seek happiness outside ourself. We try to obtain better material conditions, a better job, higher social status, and so on; but no matter how successful we are in improving our external situation, we still experience many problems and much dissatisfaction. We never experience pure, lasting happiness Even though we work very hard to find happiness, it remains elusive for us, whereas sufferings and problems seem to come naturally, without any effort. Why is this? It is because the cause of happiness within our mind – virtue – is very weak and can give rise to its effect only if we apply great effort, whereas the internal causes of suffering and problems – the delusions – are very strong and can give rise to their effect with no effort on our part. To weaken the causes of suffering in our mind and strengthen the causes of happiness we need to train in mindfulness through meditation.
Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any time. No previous experience with meditation is necessary. You don’t need to bring anything with you, and the meditation is conducted on chairs (there are also cushions available if you prefer).
Everyone is welcome.
