The practice of meditation is very extensive. Gen Demo will explain how we can hold peace of mind and engage in meditation while we are going about our normal day to day activities. Everyone is welcome. There is a warm welcome to those who have not taken part in a meditation class before.
Regular term 2 classes with David Wallace begin 23 August and will be based on How to Solve Our Human Problems by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
In these classes, we shall consider how in this busy world, our experiences of happiness are fleeting and short-lived, while inner peace eludes us completely. Our negative states of mind, such as uncontrolled desire and anger, create endelss problems for ourselves and others and prevent us from fulfilling our deepest wishes. The teachings and meditations will be of a practical nature with direct application to daily life.
