As we return from the summer break, there may be things that we would like to change in our life. Whilst we are pretty good at changing our external conditions, inner change is typically more of a mystery to us.
However, inner changes are the ones that can have the most effect on sense of happiness and well-being. It’s our attitudes or states of mind that ultimately determine our experience of our life. Fortunately, as Buddha explained, we can change from the inside, and this will have an immediate effect on our personal world.
Buddhist meditation is much more than learning how to relax. It’s a proven method for inner change and becoming the person we wish to be. We can consciously change how we think – our mental attitudes – and anyone can learn how to do this. In this series we will learn how these methods work, practise them and discover how we can use them to transform our everyday life.
About these in-person and online classes
We are happy to say that classes are available “in-person” at the Centre again 🙂
To attend you can just come along to the class. Tea is served from 17.30. A single class costs 85kr. If you wish, you can buy a Clip Card online here for four or eight classes, which provides some discount – or you can buy one at the Centre when you come.
The classes include teachings, discussion and guided meditations. No previous experience of meditation is needed. Everyone is welcome, buddhist and non-buddhist alike and anyone can benefit from these teachings regardless of nationality, culture, background, gender or age.
Lineage of these instructions
The meditation practices we teach come from an unbroken lineage of instructions that go back to the teachings of Buddha, over 2500 years ago. They are timeless instructions that are very relevant for developing and maintaining a peaceful mind in today’s world.
Teachings for these classes will be drawn from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche’s books “How to Transform Your Life” and “How to Solve our Human Problems”. Hard copies of both books can be purchased at the Centre. A digital version of the latter is available here, and a digital version the former can be download for free here.
