Reasons to be Inspired

Given the onslaught of discouraging news in our world these days it is no surprise that many people feel uninspired in their lives. Where can we turn to find authentic inspiration that will encourage us to live fully-engaged, joyful and meaningful lives?

In this half-day course, Kadam Morten will offer a number of key insights from Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s Modern Buddhist teachings from which we can draw true inspiration. These insights are both extraordinary and at the same time eminently practical and applicable to our lives. And like every aspect of our Modern Buddhist teachings they can be verified directly through our own logic and experience. Not only will these insights give us wonderful reasons to get up in the morning, they also give us the skill set and energy to transform daily life problems into our spiritual path. Gradually, we learn to carry this inspiration with us continuously.

Consisting of two talks and guided meditations, the course will conclude with a Q&A for those who wish.
