Three Ways to Live Well
at Turner & Griffith
starts Tue 13 Jan

Each class includes two guided meditations and a teaching for modern life, drawn from Buddha’s wisdom.

We all want a good life. And no matter what shape we think that life should be, we definitely want it to be a happy one.

Living well means being happy. A happy person is a person who is free from negative thoughts and is connected to others by a mind of love.

In Buddha’s teachings, and through meditation, we discover reliable methods to make ourself happy.

By getting rid of our inner problems – our delusions – and by cultivating our potential for good qualities such as love, compassion, patience, and wisdom.

This is the real method to solve our own inner problems – problems of ignorance, depression, anger and so forth – and is also the real method to benefit others practically.

– Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

At these classes, you’ll learn three simple yet powerful meditations that will improve the quality of your life.

No experience is needed – everyone is welcome. Come any week.

Suitable for everyone – come any week.
