Inner peace is possible

Do you sometimes wonder whether peace is even possible?

Do you find yourself getting so overwhelmed by the relentless pace of modern life, and its seemingly endless stream of problems, that you’re losing hope of ever finding the happy and peaceful life you’re looking for?

It’s very common to become unhappy or discouraged when things don’t turn out the way we want or when we have to deal with problems we would rather avoid. Fortunately, Buddha’s teachings give us every reason to be optimistic about the future.  No matter what’s happened in the past, how difficult things are right now, or what we may encounter in the future, we can find the happy, peaceful life we’ve always wanted.

Buddha taught that the real source of happiness is inner peace, which in turn depends upon the mental action of meditation.  By learning to meditate, and integrating this knowledge into our life, our mind will gradually become more peaceful and calm and we’ll become a happier person.  Eventually, we’ll be able to remain happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances.  With our own stable experience of inner peace and happiness, we’ll then be able to share this

experience with our family, our friends and our world.

Everyone is welcome to attend this workshop, in which Buddhist teacher, Andrew Monaghan, will explain how to find lasting peace and happiness through the practice of meditation.

• Where peace and happiness can actually be found.
• How to calm your normally busy and distracted mind.
