Half-day Retreat this Saturday:

HOW TO LIVE LIGHTLY
WITH NATALIA DARIALOVA

It is possible to experience happiness all the time? Not just a brief pleasant feeling that quickly fades, but rather a deep, stable heartfelt happiness that we can effectively build upon, day by day. In Buddhism we call this pure happiness, because it arises from authentic internal causes within the mind, and doesn’t necessarily depend on whether or not things are working out for us externally.

When we grasp at external situations and relationships as the source of our happiness, our life becomes ‘heavy’. At best, these external situations deliver a temporary happiness that quickly fades. Often they don’t even do that. Chasing such ordinary happiness gives way to anxiety, disappointment and frustration. In this retreat, Natalia will explain how to access pure authentic and lasting happiness, and how to nurture it every day. Gaining even just a little bit of experience of this pure happiness allows us to live lightly. We learn in a relaxed way to extract a pure and meaningful happiness from every encounter and situation.

It turns out that developing such happiness is not difficult. We just need to have it pointed out to us and then train in it a little bit every day. Happiness training … that’s what Buddha’s teachings are all about!

Everyone welcome!

NEW SERIES STARTS SUNDAY: HAPPINESS IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE
Meditations for Transforming Difficult Times

This week`s class will be taught by Tim Cockey

In this series we will look at the ancient, and yet completely contemporary, practice known as Transforming Adverse Conditions into the Path. Normally we respond to difficulties by feeling overwhelmed, blaming and becoming angry. However, through the practice of meditation we learn instead to remain centered so that instead of immediately rejecting the situation we are able to assess it and indeed learn and grow from it. In this way, these ‘adverse conditions” end up fueling our spiritual growth, increasing our wisdom, patience, love, and compassion. We learn that a wise, skillful and authentic happiness is always possible. And that the more we train in this, the more meaningful and wonderful our life will become. And the more we will be able to use our ever-deepening happiness and wisdom to help others experiencing difficulties.

Everybody welcome!

Join Henry Green this Saturday for a Half-day Course on the The Three Principal Aspects of the Path

THE PERFECT PATH TO FREEDOM
Three Steps and You`re There!

The Three Principal Aspects of the Path is a legendary brief poem composed 600 years ago by the extraordinary Spiritual Guide and founder of the New Kadampa lineage, Je Tsongkhapa. In merely 15 verses, Je Tsongkhapa distills the vastness of the Buddhist stages of the path to Enlightenment to three essential realizations. Gaining experience of these three, renunciation, bodhichitta, and the wisdom realizing emptiness, will give us the psychological and spiritual tools we need to confidently and joyfully transform every aspect of our life into the perfect path to freedom – the freedom of liberation and finally, the freedom of enlightenment.

Everybody welcome!
