Conditions of a Happy Mind

Meditation is a skillful and profound method for training in inner peace and happiness. However, Buddha taught that successful meditation depends on cultivating the right internal conditions. In particular it depends on three things: accumulating merit, purifying negativities, and receiving blessings. In this series, Julia will explain how we develop these conditions of a happy mind both in our meditation practice and in our daily life. This course will benefit both those who are new to meditation and those wishing to go deeper in their practice.

The Path to Lasting Happiness - Buddha's Four Noble Truths

Buddha presented the path to freedom and lasting happiness in his legendary explanation known as the Four Noble Truths. These four - suffering, origin, cessation and path - give us a clear analysis of both the problem and the solution. The problem is that there is suffering in our lives. This suffering arises from our own mind, in particular disturbed states of mind such as anger and ignorance. Through learning to identify our underlying misperceptions we can remove the causes of suffering from our mind. Putting these methods into practice, through meditation and training in our daily life, is the path to lasting happiness and freedom. This joyful and tried and tested path can be practiced by everyone.

In this four class series, Julia will present the Four Noble Truths and show how we can integrate these practices into our daily life.
