Tuesday Evening Meditation Class
7 – 8:15pm
Finding Happiness from a Different Source
January 13, 20, 27
Where do you think happiness comes from?
We usually believe that our happiness comes from external conditions such as food, friends, jobs, houses, technology, money, adventure and so on. However we can have all these things and still not be happy – still feel like there is something missing in our lives.
They can also bring us many problems and worries.
Suffering and Happiness are states of mind, so their causes cannot be found outside of the mind. Understanding this, we can begin to explore within our own mind to discover the real causes of the pure, lasting happiness that we all long for.
In this inspiring series of stand alone classes you will learn how practical meditations and methods for developing and experiencing non deceptive happiness – our own peace of mind.
