What To Do when Things Go Wrong
Sunday 1 October 10am - 11.30am
With National Spiritual Director
Gen Kelsang Rabten
WHAT TO DO WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
Usually we find it difficult to control our mind. It seems as if our mind is like a balloon blown around in the wind – blown here and there by external circumstances. If things go well, our mind is happy, but if they go badly our mind is unhappy.
At this public talk we will explore how we can develop the freedom to choose happiness. We will learn how we can do this by relying upon positive states of mind instead of external objects to make us happy.
TIME: 10am to 11.30am
COST: $25pp (includes refreshments)
What To Expect
This wonderfully relatable and practical public talk will include a couple of brief, guided meditations. There’s no need to bring anything with you, although you may wish to bring a note-book, pen and some water.
Refreshments will be offered after the talk. Attendees come from all walks of life. Everyone is welcome.
