ABOUT THESE HABITS OF HAPPY PEOPLE CLASSES
We tend to make the attainment of happiness more complicated than it actually is, by believing that we need things such as success, praise, people, status, looks and possessions etc. to achieve it. The reality is that none of these things can give us lasting happiness and depending upon them actually makes our mind prone to anxiety, frustration and disappointment.
Buddha explains simple attitudes that we can all learn to cultivate that will really make us happy. On this course we will explore how we can cultivate the happy minds of contentment, gratitude, acceptance and joy. It will include guided meditations to show us how to do this.
You will:
- feel empowered to create your own experience of happiness
- experience a deeper peace and calm
- be able to help others solve their problems
Quote from How to Transform Your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
“The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions. If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances.”
