Saturday 20th May | Training The Mind In Happiness : Half-Day Meditation Course | Gen Chodor | 10.30am – 1pm | Sevenoaks

Training The Mind

Although we wish to be happy all the time, why do we find it so difficult to actually be happy? Our daily negative emotions of stress, anxiety, and worry are preventing us from experiencing the happiness we seek.

Happiness is not something we are either born with or not born with. It is something we can train in. To do so, we need to know what are the actual true causes of happiness. According to Buddha, authentic happiness does not depend upon amassing specific external conditions, such as wealth, beauty, status, good relationships etc., but the internal ingredient of inner peace. Happiness is a positive state of mind, a habit, and it can be strengthened through training in meditation.

In this half-day course, Gen Chodor will share simple meditation techniques that are designed to help us experience and maintain authentic happiness and how we can continue to train in happiness during our busy daily lives.

I always feel recharged after a stressful busy day. The teachers are experienced and great.

You do not need to be a Buddhist to visit, nor need to be a Buddhist to benefit from these classes.

The classes are a haven of peace. Great environment to learn how to tame your mind with experienced teachers and practitioners. Warm, open atmosphere where everyone seems to be welcome! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn how to meditate.

Welcoming staff and teachers that are really receptive to everyone from all backgrounds.

Since coming several times a week for 6 months my outlook on life has completely changed and I have happiness in my heart.

I found these classes to be a constant source of calm and inspiration and the community to be really welcoming, warm and sincere. I would heartily recommend the classes to everyone. I am certainly a happier, more peaceful and more grounded person as a result of the teachings I experienced there.

The instructors are highly committed practitioners and they do a great job on applying the ancient teachings to our modern day problems.
