How to Solve our Human Problems

We all understand what it means to feel angry. But do we understand what the real consequences of such a mind are, both for ourselves and others? In these classes we will have an in-depth look at the nature of anger, how it develops, what happens when we get angry and most importantly, how to stop such a mind from even developing. These teachings are based upon the book How to solve our human problems written by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso where he offers us modern, clear advice on how to overcome this most dangerous delusion.

The Power to be Happy

Joyful effort is key to us attaining the good qualities we wish for. Often when we’ve learned how to meditate and have a strong wish to practice, we still seem to have obstacles to really getting down to actually practicing. Buddha described this as a form of spiritual laziness.

Buddha said that without effort, even if we possess wisdom, we will be unable to complete our spiritual practices.

Join Buddhist nun, Gen Mila at these evening classes to learn these special ways of practicing overcoming obstacles in our mind!

Simply Meditate

Meditation is Essential for Human Happiness.

So, we need to practice meditation. The reason is very simple, meditation makes our mind peaceful and when our mind is peaceful, we are happy all the time whatever circumstances we find our self in.

Love, Desire, Attachment

In this 3 part series we are learning how our uncontrolled desire is the source of all our problems. 

Shantideva, a Buddhist Master said “although living beings wish to be free from suffering, They run straight towards the causes of suffering, and although they wish for happiness, out of ignorance they destroy it like a foe” 

Not all desires are harmful and many are suitable to cultivate. Join us to learn more!
