Modern Buddhism
Do you sometimes feel like modern life can be complicated and isolating? Although we long for fulfilment and lasting happiness, they are difficult to attain.
At this workshop, Gen Tsalden will explain how the Buddhist path of compassion and wisdom is a practical method to solve all our daily problems, accomplish the real meaning of our human life and find the lasting happiness we seek.
TIME: 10am to 1pm
COST: $45 Early bird price – book before 1 October
VENUE:Jim Thompson Pavilion, 12 Cameron Street, Maclean
What To Expect
There are two sessions in each workshop. They consist of an introduction, simple breathing meditation and teaching and conclude with a contemplative meditation on the teaching from that session.
Buddhist meditation involves staying alert and keeping our back straight, so we sit on chairs for the duration of the course. There’s no need to bring anything, although you may wish to bring some water and a jacket. Refreshments are provided in the break session.
Attendees come from all walks of life and there’s no need to have any meditation experience as all meditations are guided. Everyone is welcome.
