Freedom from Dissatisfaction with Gen Mila

Becoming the Architect of Your Happiness

Happiness is an inner state we can build step-by-step.

True 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.

Welcome 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.

What You Will Learn

During 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.

The 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.

Time for questions and answers and to meet like minded friends.
