The Big Question: How to be Happy?

We all share the same wish: to be happy all the time. We were born with this wish, and our search for it drives us through life. We do all find moments of pleasure and excitement, but often this pleasure swiftly becomes craving for both people and things and experiences. We can become so desperate to satisfy our constant desires that instead of happiness we experience its opposites, frustration, anxiety and addiction.

The truth is that happiness is not something we can acquire from the outside, but an authentic experience that is waiting to be discovered within us.

During this half-day course, Kadam Morten will answer the Big Question: how do I find lasting happiness? He will also guide us in meditation so that each of us will be able to begin to tap into this deep well of happiness that is available to all of us.

Everyone welcome!
