The bliss of perfect freedom- developing authentic renunciation with visiting teacher Gen Tilopa
Discover the deep joy that arises from authentic renunciation — the courageous wish to break free from the endless cycle of craving and dissatisfaction.
Far from being a loss, renunciation opens the gateway to supreme inner peace, lasting freedom, and a truly meaningful life. When this deep longing for the bliss of perfect freedom begins to dawn in our mind, we experience a grounded and profound joy, unshaken by external conditions.
This course will be taught by visiting teacher Gen Kelsang Tilopa, who is the Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Centre Liverpool. He has been teaching for almost 25 years, and he brings to the teachings of pure Kadam Dharma his varied life experiences to help and guide his students, and to show how pure Dharma teachings and practice can improve the quality of our daily lives at work, at home, and in our everyday relationships.

What is the purpose of meditation?
The purpose of meditation is to cultivate positive mental states and overcome negative habits. Through meditation we learn that happiness is a state of mind and that the real source of happiness lies within, not in external situations. When our mind is peaceful we are free from worries and mental discomfort, and we experience true happiness. Meditation is the method to make our mind peaceful and can be practiced by anyone.
