We would all like to feel strong and confident. How can we do this?
At this time of year we are often focused on giving and receiving material gifts. We work so hard and spend so much to find the right gift that we feel will make those we love happy. We also have our own wish list of what we would like as well. However this time of year can also be challenging for many different reasons. When our gift isn’t received in the way we expected, when we don’t get what we want and also when we see the challenges others face at this time. In Kadampa Buddhism we learn two meditations called ‘the magical practice of taking and giving’.

Over these weeks we will explore these two meditations and how they function to lead us to a deep inner stability and confidence.

Come along to one of our Friday morning meditation classes in December and find out more.

“The Kadampa Geshes used to pray to develop a mind that is as strong and stable as a blacksmith’s anvil, which does not break however hard it is struck. We need a strong and stable mind, one that is undisturbed by any hardship that life throws at us. With such a mind, we are like a hero or heroine, and nothing can interfere with our progress towards enlightenment.”
