Understanding happiness and karma

Description

When we find ourselves immersed in problems, we often ask: Why me? But do we have an answer to that question? Do we feel unlucky? Do we feel that we’ve been dealt an unfair hand?

Buddha’s teachings on the law of karma gives us a clear and practical explanation on why things happen the way they do, and how we can begin to change our experiences from not so great to fantastic. 

Or at the very least, better. Rather than seeking happiness, we learn to create it. Rather than running from unhappiness, we learn to abandon its causes. Understanding karma puts us in the driver’s seat of our own life.

In this course, Gen Leksang will explain Buddha’s teachings on how using the law of karma we can change our experience of the present, heal the past, and create a more fortunate future.

This course will provide you with a series of tools you can use to create a more accepting and positive mind and a confidence that you can change your life, by understanding karma.

Everybody is welcome to attend regardless of experience. The course will consist of practical teachings and short guided meditations that will give rise to a peaceful feeling in the mind and improve our ability to deal with stress.

On this course you will learn how to:

• Understand the law of karma and how to use it to change your life
• Deepen your peace and acceptance through apply a belief in karma
• Let go of the past and create a happier future
