”Happiness and suffering are states of mind, and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind. If we want to be truly happy from suffering, we must learn how to control our mind” – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, How to Transform Your Life
February 12 – March 5: A 4 week course- A new approach to things going wrong
Learn practical ways of thinking to free your mind from habitual mental patterns of responding to difficulties that cause you only to experience more unhappiness. A course based on the book How to Solve Our Human Problems
“We do not need to become unhappy just because things do not go our way. Although until now this has indeed been our reaction to difficulties, once we recognise that it does not work we are free to respond in a more realistic and constructive way” – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, How to Solve Our Human Problems
