“The real source of happiness is inner peace, If our mind is peaceful, we will be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions, but if it is troubled in any way, we will never be happy, no matter how good our external conditions may be.”
— Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
We all know the feeling of waking up on a beautiful summer Sunday and feeling like all is right in the world. We plan outings with friends and family to enjoy the beautiful weather. This is what life is about! Or is it? Sometimes even on the nicest days we can feel anxious, overwhelmed or unhappy.
If we check carefully we can see that it is our mind and not our circumstances that creates happiness. In this 6 week course we will explore the obstacles we face when pursuing happiness and learn strategies to develop true and lasting happiness.
