Joyfully Seizing the Day: Gratitude, Wisdom and the Meaning of Life

September - October

Description

For many people, the pandemic is bringing new urgency to our underlying doubts and questions about our life and our world. Does the way we are living even make sense? Did it ever make sense? Was it moving us towards fulfillment and happiness? And is such fulfillment even possible?

According to Buddha, fulfillment and lasting happiness are definitely attainable. However, to understand this we need to look at our life in a new light.

In this series of talks and guided meditations, Kelsang Jangchen will take us on a deep dive into Buddha’s view of our human life. This life we are currently experiencing is both fortunate and rare, with the potential to be extraordinarily meaningful and beneficial. It is up to us. Taking this wisdom into our heart will naturally fill us with a feeling of great good fortune and gratitude, leading to a joyful, energetic motivation to make every day count.

Everyone welcome!

Transforming Grief, Through Understanding What Happens When We Die

October - November

Description

Many people are experiencing grief right now and all of us will eventually have to face the loss of loved ones, as well as our own death. The Buddhist understanding of death and dying is enormously beneficial. It is based on those who have directly experienced the indestructible nature of consciousness in meditation and has been affirmed through many generations of practitioners.

In this series Kelsang Jangchen will explain the life-enhancing meditation on death. Gaining experience of this meditation will enable us to not only deal skillfully with our grief but also help those who are dying or have died.

In particular it will allow us to acknowledge our own impermanence and transform the truth of our death into a life-enhancing energy that will empower us to truly make the most of our lives, to live and die joyfully and meaningfully.

Everyone welcome!
