Heal Your Mind – Learn Meditation!
Saturday 7th September
10am – 1.15pm

Our mind can be our own worse enemy or our best friend. If our mind is peaceful all the time we will be happy all the time, but if our mind is disturbed, we cannot be happy even in the best conditions.

By learning meditation we can access the natural inner peace of our mind, and through regular training in experiencing this peace, we will come to know the radical benefits of how it transforms the quality of our life, by transforming our mind.

In this half day course, we will begin to experience the benefits of meditation and learn how to meditate formally and in our daily life.

Hello everybody, here we are enjoying the 2024 Summer festival at Manjushri KMC and rejoicing in this special opportunity to receive teachings, given by Venerable Geshe-la in Portugal 2013.
Gen-la Dekyong gave commentary and encouragement, inspiring us to take these teachings to heart.

"Being Happy Now, Not Later"
Tuesday 23rd July @ 7.30pm
Thursday 25th July @ 11am

We all share the same wish, to be happy all the time.

We were born with it, and our search for it drives us through life. We all find moments of pleasure and excitement, but sometimes this pleasure becomes craving for both people and things.

We can become so desperate to satisfy our constant desires, that instead of happiness we experience frustration, anxiety and addiction.

The truth is happiness is not something we can acquire from the outside, but a vast ocean that’s waiting to be discovered within us.

In this series of classes we will learn how by focusing on positive minds such as patience, cherishing love, compassion and wisdom we can find the peace in every moment of our mind, and thus be happy in every moment of our life.

Saturday Half-Day Course
"Harnessing the Power of Intention"
Saturday 13th July 10am - 1.15pm

From time to time in our lives, we ask a question to ourselves: “where is my life going?”

This question can arise when we feel like our life is hollow and lacks meaning or when we feel as though our life is out of our control.
It is an important question and unfortunately for most people, this question remains unanswered or is answered with a quest for external things that cannot satisfy the thirst that led to the question in the first place.

With wisdom, however, we can fill our life with meaning and gain personal control of our destination. In this course we will learn how to use Buddha’s understanding and wisdom to gain a positive and fulfilling direction for our life. We will come to understand how we can create every positive result for ourself and others by changing our mind and intention, wishing for inner peace and how this wish depends upon the wish for others to have the same.

This course will be taught by Andy Torrington, a senior practitioner and Kadampa teacher.
