The Secret to Happiness

The secret to happiness and to creating the life you want comes with an understanding of the laws of karma. Recognizing how our own thoughts and actions create our experience of the world puts us in control of our life. Rather than feeling victimized by circumstance we have the tools to comprehend why we experience the things we do. And rather than passively hoping that things will turn out well, we are given the tools to create the experience we wish to have both here and now and in the future. Everyone is welcome.

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, Miri will present the four noble truths and show how we can integrate these practices into our daily life.
