SUMMARY:Freedom from Dissatisfaction with Gen Mila
DESCRIPTION: \n \nWe all wish to feel less frustrated or less anxious, more peaceful more satisfied, however to accomplish this we need to train our mind, through meditation and reflection, to develop the causes of inner peace and freedom from dissatisfaction. Come along and learn how. \n \nEveryone is welcome to join.\n \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.\n \nAs Geshe Kelsang Gyatso shares in The New Eight Steps to Happiness:\n“Unless we make some time every day to meditate, we will find it very difficult to maintain peaceful and positive minds in our daily life, and our spiritual practice as a whole will suffer. Since the real purpose of meditation is to increase our capacity to help others, taking time each day to meditate is not selfish. We have to manage our time and energy in such a way that we can be of maximum benefit to others, and to do this effectively we need time alone to recover our strength, collect our thoughts and see things in perspective.”\nBy caring for our mind, we’re in a stronger position to care for others.\n \nTime for questions and answers and to meet like minded friends.\nReference book – The New Eight Steps to Happiness\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\nAs a student of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Gen Kelsang Mila is a modern – day Kadampa Nun and the resident teacher of Vajrapani Kadampa Buddhist Centre.
