Advice for a Happy Life

Learn how to turn your life around and find true happiness with practical methods drawn from Buddha’s teachings. Classes consist of guided meditations together with advice on how to apply Buddhist wisdom to our daily life.

In these classes we will examine where our problems and suffering actually come, and discover that their real origin is not in the outside world but within our own minds. Having understood this, we can begin to apply the tools Buddha has taught to remove the suffering-producing tendencies in our mind, leading to progressively deeper peace, resilience and happiness.

Suitable for everyone.
