with US National Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition of Buddhism, Gen Kelsang Jampa
Within our mind exists an extraordinary potential for inner peace and happiness. Through the simple practice of meditation, along with Buddha’s time-tested advice for daily life, we can learn to access that potential. We can learn to let go of the agitated states of mind, such as anger, that produce unhappiness and instead we can cultivate peaceful, powerful minds such as compassion and wisdom.
Referencing Modern Buddhism, a popular and insightful book by the internationally renowned Buddhist teacher and author, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Gen Jampa will explain how to to transform our day-to-day experiences into the path of improving our compassion and wisdom. In this way, we learn the art of being peaceful and the special skill of creating happiness for ourselves and others. These teachings of Modern Buddhism and peaceful living are applicable to everyone, Buddhist and non-Buddhist, religious and non-religious. Everyone is welcome and no preregistration is required.
