Pure Happiness

In-Person & Online Workshop

Booking Info

Imagine being happy all the time.
We all have the potential to attain a pure and open-hearted happiness that never wavers.

Workshop Description

Normally we think that other people or situations are responsible for our good and bad experiences. Buddha taught that this view is mistaken, and that real lasting happiness and suffering come from our mind, not from other people or circumstances.

It is our mind that creates and appears every aspect of our life. When we recognise this, we’ll appreciate the power of meditation to heal ourselves and others at the very deepest levels.

When our mind is pure, this in turn makes all our actions pure so that we become a pure being.

At this practical meditation workshop, Resident Teacher and Buddhist nun Gen Kelsang Lhachog will introduce us to the practice of Taking & Giving, which ripens our deep potential for purity and empowers our spiritual progress. Discover a time-honoured method for transforming your experience to one of lasting joy and happiness.

You'll come away knowing how to:

  • understand the real nature and causes of happiness
  • access a deep inner peace
  • connect with your pure potential
  • respond constructively to suffering and problems
  • maintain a strong, stable inner peace at all times
  • find joy in daily life
