Why is this Happening to Me? with Gen Kelsang Mila

Turn your Problems into Inner Strength

Each and every day, without choice, we experience a variety of problems or difficulties that can make us frustrated and unhappy. These may appear as loss, loneliness, sickness, depression or just not fulfilling our own wishes. Since many of these problems seem to be unavoidable, we actually need to develop more effective ways to respond to them so we are not continually becoming unhappy.

In this series, we will learn how to transform adversities into opportunities for spiritual growth, developing minds of patience, compassion and wisdom. In this way, we will begin to use all our difficult situations as a means to develop inner strength and happiness.

Classes include guided meditations, practical teachings and time for discussion and Q & A.

You are invited to arrive a few minutes before the class starts to register and settle in or have a cup of tea or coffee.  We have a book shop to browse, water on sale, and it is helpful to bring a pen and notebook if you would like to take notes. There is secure and ample parking.

After the class there are refreshments and an opportunity to ask questions informally and meet other people.

Everyone is welcome. No special experience necessary. No special clothing is needed. Dress comfortably. Chairs are available.
