SUMMARY:Happiness from the Inside Out
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a joyful and inspiring weekend meditation retreat exploring practical methods for creating happiness. \nWe often hear that happiness comes from within\, but what does that really mean\, and how do we do it? Buddhist philosophy offers clear\, practical tools for developing inner peace and well-being\, the true foundations of a happy life. During this retreat\, we will explore the inner causes of happiness and learn how our own mind can either nurture or undermine it. \nUsually\, we believe our happiness depends on people\, circumstances\, or good conditions. When things go well\, we feel happy; when they don’t\, we suffer. But a happiness that depends on external conditions is fragile and easily lost. Through meditation and reflection\, we will learn how to gently loosen this dependence and discover a more stable\, reliable source\, inner peace and our own love for others. \nIn this way we create positive feelings that no one can take away. Everyone welcome! \n  \nSchedule\nFriday\, March 6 \n\nDinner: 5:30-6:30pm\nRetreat Intro : 7-8:30pm\n\nSaturday\, March 7 \n\nSession 1: 9-10am\nSession 2: 11-12pm\nLunch: 12-1pm\nSession 3: 2-3pm\nSession 4: 4-5pm \nDinner: 6-7pm\n\nSunday\, March 8 \n\nSession 5: 9-10am\nSession 6 / Sun Med Class : 11-12:15pm\nlunch

SUMMARY:Tara Prayers
DESCRIPTION:At Kadampa Centers worldwide\, the eighth of the month is Tara Day. Tara is a female Buddha\, whose name means “Rescuer”. She is the embodiment of swift compassion. If we rely upon Tara sincerely and with strong faith\, she will protect us from all obstacles and fulfill all our wishes. Tara has the ability to protect us from all inner and outer fears – such as the dangers from wind and water.
