Topics & Dates
When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem and respond with frustration and resistance. But if we learn to maintain a peaceful mind we can remain happy all the time, regardless of circumstances.
On this course we will learn how to be happy and content in the face of daily challenges, principally through the practice of acceptance. We will also learn how by relying on patient acceptance towards others we can improve our relationships.

What is happiness and how can we find a reliable source of happiness? We tend to believe that we need things such as success, praise, status, looks, material possessions and so forth to be happy. Although we can definitely enjoy all of these, they cannot provide us with the pure lasting happiness we seek.
Buddha explains that the source of happiness is inner peace, and there are simple attitudes that bring inner peace, and we can all learn to cultivate these. On this course we will explore meditations and ways of thinking that uplift the mind. By carrying these with mindfulness into our day, we can maintain a light, joyful attitude whatever life throws our way.
