12-1:15pm Transform Your Life

February 1, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm

How to Transform Your Life on Mobile Devices

Within our hearts is the potential to experience the unlimited happiness and peace of an enlightened mind. Join us as we transform life’s ordinary moments to create a more meaningful life. Based on the new book How to Transform Your Life by modern-day meditation master Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, this class explores the advice and meditations found inside the book which focus on:

  • Making our human life meaningful
  • Finding a correct method to reduce and cease our experience of problems
  • Making ourself happy all the time by developing and maintaining a peaceful mind

How can we set about making meaningful changes in our life? The practice of meditation is a gradual, gentle and natural unfolding of transformation. We need patience and we need to apply effort if we want to achieve real transformation in our life. Attending a regular meditation class can help us build up strength and confidence in our practice and we will eventually start seeing results. As Geshe Kelsang says in How to Transform Your Life:

“When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be happy all the time and to be free from problems, we must develop and maintain a peaceful mind.”

Everyone is welcome to join us on Thursday afternoons. No previous meditation experience is required.
