SUMMARY:Eight Steps to Happiness
DESCRIPTION:Everyone wants to be happy and no one wants to suffer\, but very few people understand what is the real cause of happiness and what is the real cause of suffering. We spend almost all our time adjusting the external world\, trying to make it conform to our wishes. We could change our home or our partner countless times\, but until we change our restless\, discontented mind\, we will never find real happiness. Because ultimately\, it is our mind that determines whether we are happy or miserable. \nIn this series of meditation classes we will explore the profound and practical methods to improve the mind as presented in the book “The New Eight Steps to happiness” by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

SUMMARY:Who Was Buddha?
DESCRIPTION:A philosopher\, scientist\, teacher\, meditator\, mystic\, sage\, spiritual guide—whichever words we use\, there is no doubt that Buddha has had a profound and lasting impact on our world. \nIn this series\, we will explore the inspiring life story of Buddha Shakyamuni: from his early life as Prince Siddhartha\, through his quest for enlightenment\, to his compassionate activity as a teacher guiding others to liberation. By looking at both his life and his teachings\, we will discover how Buddha revealed practical methods for solving our problems at their source. \nAlthough Buddha lived over 2\,600 years ago\, his life story is rich with meaning for the modern spiritual seeker. His teachings uncover universal truths about the mind and offer timeless guidance for finding freedom from suffering and lasting inner peace. \nWeekly topics include: \n\nWeek 1: Solving Our Problems at Their Root\nWeek 2: Breaking the Chains of Desire\nWeek 3: Freedom from Fear\nWeek 4: Skillful Guidance to Liberation\n\nThis series will be based on teachings from the book Introduction to Buddhism by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

SUMMARY:Meditations for Positive Change
DESCRIPTION:These classes include both meditations and teachings based on Buddha’s wisdom that can help us to stay peaceful even in challenging times. We can develop and strengthen five positive mindsets\, called the five forces\, that allow us to grow in our ability to keep our mind peaceful even in tough times. When we become adept at integrating these forces into our spiritual practice\, our realizations will grow quickly\, and we will give ourselves the gift of increased protection from suffering.
