Do you find that some days it only takes something small to go wrong to ruin our day?
Or are you discouraged because it seems that whatever you do is never good enough?
Or however hard you try things just dont go the way you hoped?
How about instead, if we had a method to work with whatever appears in our life, good or bad, and learn and grow from it ?
With a strong and resilient mind, difficulties will not floor us, our efforts will remain undiminished if we dont see immediate results, and our calm attitude will become an inspiration for others. We may even come to look forward to adverse conditions as an opportunity to increase our own good qualities.
“The Kadampa Geshes used to pray to develop a mind as strong and stable as a blacksmith’s anvil, which does not break however hard it is struck. We need a strong and stable mind, one that is undisturbed by any hardship that life throws at us. With such a mind we are like a hero or heroine, and nothing can interfere with our progress towards enlightenment”
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso – The New Eight Steps to Happiness
In this half day course, experienced practitioner and teacher Richard Green will look at how we can transform all our daily difficulties into fuel for spiritual practice, helping us to strengthen our mind and remain resilient whatever life throws at us. With these good qualities we will be able to benefit others greatly, and develop a mind strong enough to effect huge transformation, eventually leading us to the fearless mind of an Enlightened Being.
Each session will consist of teachings and guided meditations. We sit on chairs, and no exercise is involved.
