Choose Happiness

Gaining the Power to Transform Our Mind

Each and every one of us has the capacity to experience an endless supply of mental peace and happiness. Unfortunately, we have long-standing bad habits of thinking that result in feeling unhappy and stressed much of the time. In this half-day course, Gen Demo will explain how to gain power to free our self from these negative emotions and instead, tap into our natural capacity for happiness and joy.

Gen Kelsang Demo is the Midwestern U.S. National Spiritual Director and the Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Center Washington D.C. She has been a student and disciple of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for over 20 years and has been teaching for 22 years.
