Residing in a Peaceful Heart

The Foundation for a Happy Life

The key to a happy life is learning to reside in a peaceful heart. And this is something we can all learn to do. In fact, learning to develop a peaceful mind and abiding there is the very essence of Buddhist meditation. Not only does this peaceful mind give us the foundation for a happy life, it is also the basis for all higher attainments of the Buddhist spiritual path, such as love, compassion, patient acceptance and wisdom.

In this half-day course we will learn to develop and maintain such a peaceful, light, flexible heart. By stabilizing this experience, our heart becomes our real home, the place where we truly reside, the peace and happiness that we take with us everywhere we go, even when times are difficult.

Everyone can learn to do this, and in our world right now, a peaceful heart is needed more than ever.

Everyone welcome!
