"If we were able to maintain a calm and peaceful mind all day long we would never experience any problems or mental suffering. For example, if our mind remains peaceful all the time, then even if we are insulted, criticized or blamed, or if we lose our job or our friends, we will not become unhappy. No matter how difficult our external circumstances may become, for as long as we maintain a calm and peaceful mind they will not be a problem for us."

New Series Starts Tomorrow Evening, with Guest Teacher, Edwin Tubb

The Habits of Happiness
5:30 - 6:30pm
KMC NYC - Main Center, Chelsea

Why should happiness and well-being be something that only comes our way every now and then? Is life really this random, or is it possible to take some control over our own experience and (yes!) even direct it to the most beneficial and joyful experience we can imagine?

Let’s do that. Buddha explained that we have specific “mental factors” (eleven of them, to be precise) that when put into play will naturally give rise to feelings of peace and happiness. What we want to do is begin to make a habit of activating them.

Each of these eleven habits of mind has the power:
*to shift our perspective,
*shake off stress,
*and boost our emotional well-being.

In this series, we’ll explore and unpack these special insights, and discover how Buddhist meditation can power-up the peace, presence and positivity in your life. Everyone welcome.

In How to Transform Your Life, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso writes "If our mind is peaceful we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions. If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances."

Join Kadam Matthew Tomorrow Night for his Wednesday evening series: Quieting the Restless Mind - Finding Satisfaction in Everyday Circumstances

7:00 - 8:30pm

Although we search almost continuously, contentment itself remains…elusive, somehow always just out of reach. We feel joy, and at other times sadness, but do we truly know what it is to be satisfied? Have we found what we have been looking for all this time? When we finally meet the right person, will we finally experience contentment ? When we get our finances together, or find the perfect career? How exactly is this much sought-after state of mind produced? Come investigate the answers to these questions and receive wisdom advice from the Buddhist tradition on how to find a deep and lasting satisfaction within our ordinary daily circumstances. Everything we need is already here, come learn practical methods to train your mind!

Everybody welcome!
