In our daily life, we are continually beset with difficulties and uncertainty. Even though we work hard to avoid and control things going wrong, our efforts bring little rewards. As Buddhist master Shantideva says ” Where is there enough leather to cover the surface of the Earth? But just having leather on the soles of one’s feet is the same as covering the whole Earth”.

Instead of always trying to control external situations and people to bring happiness and freedom from problems, if we could control our negative minds of anger, depression and selfishness, we would naturally experience the peace and joy we wish for.

In this half day course, we will learn practical meditations to control our negative minds and transform them into peaceful, positive states. In this way, we have an inner courage that protects us from all fear and difficulties.
