Happiness from a Different Source

We all have the same basic wish to be happy and avoid suffering, but we tend to look to external things for our happiness and relief. In this free public talk, we will explore how to make use of the peace and happiness we already have within our own mind by developing a meditation practice. Through meditation we can reduce our negative states of mind and addictive tendencies, experiences that are sometimes so overwhelming to us that we call them our “inner demons”. Although we may feel controlled by these difficult states of mind, we can learn to find freedom from within and defeat these demons.

Buddha’s teachings on meditation and creating happiness from the inside provide us with real methods for transforming every challenging state of mind into the spiritual path. By applying these teachings to our lives, we will find a profound peace and inner strength that enable us to triumph over even the most destructive negative habits and states of mind and finally experience real inner peace.
