SUMMARY:Protection from Negativity & Misfortune with Gen Kelsang Mila
DESCRIPTION: \nMeditations to Make our Life Meaningful & Happy\nn this class we explore Buddhas teachings, called Dharma, on how we can find protection from negativity and misfortune.\nQuiet the mental noise and find stillness in a busy world.\n“When our mind is peaceful, we are free from worries and mental discomfort, and we experience true happiness. \nIf we train our mind to become peaceful we will be happy all the time, even in the most adverse conditions; but if our mind is not peaceful, then even if we have the most pleasant external conditions we will not be happy. \n \nTherefore, it is important to train our mind through meditation.\n \nWhenever we meditate, we are performing an action that causes us to experience inner peace in the future. Day and night, throughout our life, we usually experience delusions, which are the opposite to mental peace. However, sometimes we naturally experience inner peace. This is because in our previous lives we concentrated on virtuous objects. A virtuous object is one that causes us to develop a peaceful mind when we concentrate on it.”\nThe class consists of a guided meditation to relax the mind, a short talk on how we can add so much meaning and purpose to our life, and a meditation to take the teachings to heart and a tip on how to practice the instruction in your daily life.\nTime for questions and answers and to meet like minded friends.\n \nReference Book : The New Meditation Handbook\nNo special experience necessary. No special clothing is needed. Dress comfortably. Chairs are available\n \nEveryone is welcome. \n \nAbout the Teacher:\nAs a student of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso ( https://kadampa.org/the-founder ), Gen Kelsang Mila is a modern – day Kadampa Nun and the resident teacher of Vajrapani Kadampa Buddhist Centre.
