A Balanced Life - Midweek Retreat | 17 - 19 Jan

$32.00

Retreat Description.

Every day we work very hard to find happiness yet it remains elusive for us, whereas suffering and problems seem to come naturally, without any effort. Why is this?

According to Buddha, it is because the real cause of happiness – peace of mind – is very weak, while the real causes of suffering – inner turbulence and anxiety – are very strong in our mind. If we want to reverse this situation, we must strike a balance between our external activities and our inner experiences.

In this retreat learn how to unify meditation with daily life and find inner peace in every moment.


Teacher.

 

The teacher of this retreat is Kelsang Luma. With over a decade of experience as a teacher of modern Buddhism in The New Kadampa Tradition, Kelsang Luma is well-loved for her humble nature, energy, and joy in sharing Buddha’s teachings. Her practical and uplifting approach makes meditation and Buddhism accessible to all.
