Description

The meditations practised on this course will help you to develop greater peace of mind and happiness, and to improve your relationships through learning to cherish others.

The course will focus on meditations on cherishing others – thinking that others are important, and that their happiness and freedom are important; compassion – the sincere wish to protect others from suffering; and love – the sincere wish to give happiness to others.

Through this you will:

discover a deeper connection with those around you
reduce your negative thoughts towards others
feel more peaceful and accepting in yourself

On this course we will be using the book ‘The New Eight Steps to Happiness’ by Geshe Kelsang Gyats from ‘The New Eight Steps to Happiness’ by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

“Problems, worry, pain and unhappiness are types of mind; they are feelings and do not exist outside the mind. If we cherish everyone we meet or think about, there will be no basis for developing jealousy, anger or other harmful thoughts, and our mind will be at peace all the time.”
