SUMMARY:Happiness exists inside our self with John Vlismas
DESCRIPTION: \nBecoming the Architect of Your Happiness\n \nHappiness is an inner state we can build step-by-step.\n \nTrue happiness is not a matter of luck or external circumstances. It is an inner state of mind that we can intentionally construct, step by step. If you are ready to stop chasing temporary pleasures and start building a foundation for lasting peace, this series is for you.\n \nWelcome to “Becoming the Architect of Your Happiness,” a transformative 5-week meditation course. Based on the profound teachings of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche’s life-changing book, The New Eight Steps to Happiness, this series offers a practical blueprint for deep inner change.\n \nWhat You Will Learn\nDuring this 5-week journey, you will learn to train your mind through traditional Buddhist meditations adapted for modern life. Each week, we will explore practical methods to shift our perspective, dismantle negative habits, and nurture a deeply loving heart.\nThe class consists of a guided meditation to relax the mind, a short talk 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 Eight Steps to Happiness\n \nNo need to wear special clothing. Dress comfortably. We sit on chairs. \nWe have a book shop to browse, water on sale. There is secure and ample parking.\n \nAbout the Teacher\nJohn Vlismas is a student on our Foundation Study Programme and brings his own personal life experience of how practicing  Buddhas advice on meditation and living it in daily modern life, has brought great insight and meaning to his life. \n \nHow to join in?\nIn Person at Vajrapani Kadampa Buddhist Center\nThe Woods, 345 Jan Smuts Ave, Upper level, Craighall Park, 2196\n \nBecome a monthly member ? Affordable Membership options here ( https://www.meditation.org.za/membership/ )\n \nIf you would like to make a donation, click here.\nAll donations contribute to the operation and development of the center, providing opportunities for the public to learn and understand the precious Dharma (teachings).\n \nRefund Policy\nIf you cancel within 24 hours, no refund. If you cancel anytime before 24 hours, 75% refund.
