LIVING WITH WISDOM - NEW MEDITATION SERIES | Tuesdays at 7pm, June 9th, 16th, 23rd & 30th

What does it mean to live with wisdom? A mind of wisdom understands what are the true causes of happiness and what are the true causes of suffering. Wisdom enables us to develop deep insights into how our mind works and, in particular, how to distinguish minds that cause inner peace from those that make us disturbed and unhappy.

On this four-week course, Kelsang Konchog will explain how to cultivate our inner wisdom through practising Kadam Lamrim, a special practical method to integrate all of Buddha’s teachings into our daily lives. In this way, we can gradually solve all our human problems and make our lives truly meaningful.

Everyone is welcome, no experience needed. Meditation is done seated in chairs.

with Kelsang Konchog

Tuesday 7 - 8.15pm

March 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th & 31st

The Friends Meeting House, Friargate, York YO1 9RL

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 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.
On this short course we will learn methods for transforming adversities and maintaining a calm and peaceful mind regardless of the external circumstances.
Everybody welcome.
