We often say, ‘my mind, my mind’, but if someone were to ask us, ‘What is your mind?’, we would have no correct answer. This is because we do not understand the nature and function of the mind correctly.
When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as the problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from our mind. Problems arise only if we respond to difficult external situations with a negative state of mind.
On this half day course you will learn how to:
- Understand what our mind is and how it functions.
- Recognise how our happiness and freedom from problems depend upon our mind.
- Learn how to begin to transform our mind from negative to positive.
The teacher of this course will be Gen Kelsang Lhachog.
Gen Lhachog is the Resident Teacher at Uma Kadampa Meditation Centre. She has been studying, practising and teaching Kadampa Buddhism for over 20 years under the guidance of Ven. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
