Choose love: Meditation morning course with Gen Drolkyi
Choose love | Meditation morning course | Saturday 27th June 10:30-1:30pm
In this inspiring morning course, learn how to choose love rather than unhelpful states of mind such as attachment and hatred to improve relationships with others. Learn meditations which help us to cultivate a mind of pure love that is free from expectations and boundaries, giving us real freedom to choose how we relate to others in a balanced way.
Pure love is unmixed with attachment and stems entirely from a concern for others’ happiness. The mind of love ultimately makes our minds happier and more peaceful, and the minds of all those around us.
“Many people experience problems because their love is mixed with attachment. Real love can never be a cause of anger; it is the opposite of anger and can never cause problems. If we love everyone as a mother loves her dearest child, there will be no basis for any problems to arise because our mind will always be at peace. Love is the real inner protection against suffering” – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, How to Transform Your Life
Everyone is welcome, no previous experience necessary!
Course fee: £15/ discounted for members
