Conditions of a Happy Mind

Meditation is a skillful and profound method for training in inner peace and happiness. However, Buddha taught that successful meditation depends on cultivating the right internal conditions. In particular it depends on three things: accumulating merit, purifying negativities, and receiving blessings. In this series, the teacher will explain how we develop these conditions of a happy mind both in our meditation practice and in our daily life. This course will benefit both those who are new to meditation and those wishing to go deeper in their practice.
