How to be Happy All the Time
Meditation Workshop
@ Buddha Land KMC, Keighley
Sunday 10 August, 10am – 1pm
In-person & Livestream
Happiness is a state of mind, and so true happiness can only be found within our own mind. Learn to create a deep, lasting joy and contentment that comes from a positive, balanced and light mind – without needing to change your external circumstances.
What do we think we need to be happy? Where do we think our happiness lies? We tend to search for happiness outside ourselves, spending so much energy trying to arrange everything perfectly – hoping that this will make us truly happy.
In order to really achieve permanent happiness and freedom from all suffering, we must first achieve peace in our own minds. If we can learn to be happy in more situations, by putting Buddha’s teachings into practice, then eventually we can be happy all the time. During this workshop we will explore meditations that enable us to access and maintain inner peace and joy, even when experiencing difficulties in our life.
Our half day meditation courses are an ideal way to learn more about meditation and inner peace. They are designed for those who are new to meditation but also for those who would like to improve and deepen their understanding.
Refreshments are available in our World Peace Café during the course.
The cost of the Half Day Course is £15 (Monthly Members £5, FP Monthly Members £0).
Our monthly membership programme offers access to all our weekly classes as well as discounts on courses for only £20 per month – Learn more.
