Meditation Workshop with Gen Kelsang Rabten
Sat 23 Aug | KMC Australia (Dandenong Ranges)
Each of us longs for lasting happiness, but true joy comes from opening our hearts with kindness and love. As the great Buddhist master Shantideva taught, all the happiness in the world arises from the simple wish for others to be happy.
In this course, you'll learn how to cultivate boundless kindness, cherish others, even in difficult situations and let go of resentment and fear. By developing qualities like compassion, patience, and generosity, you’ll create more harmonious relationships, deepen your sense of self-worth, and contribute to a kinder, more hopeful world.

Meditation Workshop with Gen Kelsang Rabten in Ballarat
Sat 6 Sep | KMC Australia (Dandenong Ranges)
Rarely do we examine the world around us in ways that increase our wisdom and peace. For instance, when things go wrong in our life and in our world, we simply regard the situation itself as the problem, and respond with fear, anxiety and even anger.
Buddha revealed something very important: he explained that the essence of all human problems is part of the mind that experiences painful feelings. He explained how to stabilise and ultimately dissolve away these feelings, leaving only inner peace and happiness.
On this course, learn these techniques for yourself and be guided in meditation to increasing levels of inner peace and happiness. The ability to experience peace in the face of adversity is the very art of acceptance and ultimately liberates us from all suffering.

Meditation Workshop with Gen Kelsang Rabten
Sat 13 Sep | CBD
We live in a fast-paced world filled with distractions, constant notifications, and endless comparisons. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, restless, and disconnected from ourselves.
But peace isn’t something we find by switching off the world, it’s something we discover by changing the way we relate to it. Buddha’s timeless wisdom shows us how to stay calm and centred, no matter what’s happening around us.
On this course, learn how to step back from mental busyness, quiet the inner noise, and reconnect with a peaceful mind. With simple meditations and new ways of thinking, discover how to live with more clarity, focus, and joy in everyday life.

Meditation Workshop with Maria Mylonas
Sat 18 Oct | KMC Australia (Dandenong Ranges)
Life doesn’t always go the way we expect. Plans change, uncertainty arises, and challenges appear without warning. When we base our happiness on things going “right,” it can feel like we’re constantly chasing something just out of reach.
Buddha taught that lasting happiness doesn’t depend on external circumstances, but on cultivating a stable, peaceful mind. When our mind is calm and content, we can respond to life’s ups and downs with wisdom, resilience and even joy.
On this course, learn how to develop a joyful mind that doesn’t rely on perfect conditions. Through meditation and practical wisdom, discover how to stay grounded, open-hearted, and happy whatever happens.

Meditation Half-Day Course with Gen Kelsang Rabten
Sat 25 Oct | Brunswick
When problems arise, our habit is to react—trying to fix things, avoid discomfort, or make the feeling go away. But reacting without understanding often makes things worse and leaves us feeling stuck.
Buddha taught a different approach. Instead of immediately doing something, we can learn to sit with our experience, observe the mind, and allow wisdom to arise. By creating space between the problem and our response, we find clarity, calm, and the ability to move forward with peace.
On this course, learn how to pause, reflect, and respond with a calm mind. Through meditation and practical teachings, discover the power of not reacting and how inner stillness can transform even the most difficult situations.
