Weekly Secular Meditations on the 16 Guidelines for a Happy Life

About the Sessions

Join Nicolas Balthazar for a series of 16 Meditations based on the 16 Guidelines for Life, an ethics and resilience program to build inner strength organized by Tushita Meditation Centre in Delhi.

This series is structured into 16 weekly 1 hour online sessions, on Tuesdays and is offered in person and online.

Every session starts with a stabilising meditation which will quieten and settle the mind to bring us into a focused, still state. This helps us to become fully present for the session during which we will engage in an analytical meditation in order to examine a new topic every week, covering the 16 guidelines (humility, patience, contentment, delight, kindness, honesty, generosity, right speech, respect, forgiveness, gratitude, loyalty, aspiration, principles, service and courage).

Why meditate?

When you control your mind with wisdom you create the space you need to discover peace and joy. Your life then becomes peaceful and joyful and somewhat protected from the ups and downs of the external world. For beginner to advanced meditators.
