Retreat – Finding the True Source of Happiness with Gen Kelsang Mila

Where do true happiness and suffering really come from? In this retreat we explore Buddha Nature and how correctly identifying our own mind is the key to lasting peace, freeing ourself from the confusion and self-doubt that keep happiness feeling out of reach.

Through teachings and guided meditation we learn practical methods for recognising our potential for inner peace and applying it directly to daily life.

FP and TTP students are especially encouraged to attend.
