The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful.

If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions.

If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually, we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances.

Over three sessions, Gen Kelsang Ani, Resident Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Centre Brisbane will explain the benefits of daily meditation and will guide you through simple meditations that you can use to form your own meditation practice.

Everybody is welcome to attend, regardless of experience. This workshop consists of practical teachings and short guided meditations that will give rise to a peaceful feeling in the mind and improve your ability to live a peaceful life.
