Join us for Lunchtime Meditation and learn how we can gain the power to be happy, no matter what life throws at us through meditation and spiritual practice. By applying Buddha’s timeless wisdom and meditation to our daily lives, we can find happiness from a different source – inner peace.
Leave feeling refreshed, positive, and energized. No previous experience is needed. Everyone is welcome.
“Happiness is a part of the mind that experiences inner peace, or peace of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions. If our mind is pure and peaceful we will be happy, regardless of our external circumstances. If it is impure and unpeaceful we will never be happy, no matter how hard we try to change our external conditions. We could change our home, or our partner countless times, but until we change our restless, discontented mind we will never find real happiness.”
– Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, from The New Eight Steps to Happiness
