Buddhist wisdom for modern life: Thursday evening class in Chorlton
Buddhist wisdom for modern life | Thursdays 7 –8:30pm | with Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Drolkyi | held at KMC Manchester, Chorlton
Meet Buddha’s timeless wisdom, the non deceptive method to develop and maintain a peaceful mind all the time, even amidst the chaos of modern day life. Through meditation learn to untangle your mind from its habitual mental patterns that keep you trapped in a state of dissatisfaction, always seeking but never finding any lasting happiness. By learning to navigate your thoughts with wisdom and insight, discover within your mind the potential for limitless love, compassion and wisdom. In this way transform your life into a journey of great meaning and learn how you can become a purely happy being!
Each class consists of a practical teaching, guided meditations and discussion. Weekly classes are self contained so you can join at any time or book for the whole course.
April 16th – May 7th: Finding balance, 4 week course
This four-week course will guide you in discovering a deeper sense of inner balance and learning how to live in harmony with the people and circumstances around you. So often our mind feels difficult to control, with thoughts blown here and there like a balloon in the wind. We search for lasting satisfaction, yet it can seem just out of reach, and our moods rise and fall with the changing conditions of life.
Through the meditations taught on this course, we learn to develop inner space, clarity and peace. Gradually we cultivate mental equilibrium- a balanced, stable mind that remains happy despite the ever-changing circumstances of life. Join us to explore simple yet powerful meditations that can help you cultivate lasting peace and a more joyful, balanced life.
£28 for the whole course or £8 per class/ free for members
