"The real source of happiness is inner peace."
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
How the Mind Works
Each class includes two guided meditations and a teaching for modern life, drawn from Buddha’s wisdom.
Buddha’s teachings describe key functions within our mind, that are common to everyone. The way our mind works is the same for us all.
By uncovering our very human habits of mind, and understanding exactly how our mind works, we have the opportunity to use our mind in the best way possible. We can deliberately make ourself happier – rather than remaining so vulnerable to life’s ups and downs.
In this short series of classes, you will learn:
- exactly how delusions develop
- why our mind gets negative
- how we understand the world around us
- how our mental processes shape our experiences
- why we react to unpleasant people & situations
- why we long for and crave the objects of our desire
Understand your mind.
Grow your wisdom.
Gain inner strength.
