How to Be Happy in Difficult Times

The time of Covid has shown us that difficult conditions confront everyone.

The teachings and practices offered by the Buddha remind us that regardless of circumstances it is possible to be happy and well.

We can train our minds to be steady and strong.
We can learn to lovingly move toward our pain, resisting the temptation to turn away in fear and dullness.
We can awaken to a reliable happiness that you recognize as the natural state of your own mind.
Let’s practice together and awaken together.

The 4 sessions will include:

  • The Happiness of Non-harming

  • The Happiness of Concentration

  • The Happiness of Insight

  • The Happiness of Love

This online practice program is suitable for all levels of experience. All that's needed is your presence, a comfortable place to meditate, and some space for walking meditation or movement.

WHEN: Four Saturdays, 9:30am - 12:30pm (MST)

WHERE:
via Zoom, an online platform.
