Meditation course:  Birmingham City Centre – Tuesday evenings

Description

About the course 

Do you feel dissatisfied with life and feel that there must be a better way?  

By training in meditation, we can learn to develop happiness from within. We can learn to gain the freedom over our thoughts and diagnose our mental pain and stress. We can learn to become deeply familiar with happy, balanced and positive states of mind that we can rely upon for our happiness and turn to for solace, in the midst of busy, every day life. 

This course will explore a commentary to the Buddhist text by Geshe Langi Tangpa – Eight Verses of Training the Mind – written by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso – The New Eight Steps to Happiness. 

We will be exploring this text in this class over the coming weeks and month. Each class/course is self-contained so you can drop in any time. 

This course is also available online with membership
