SUMMARY:Hybrid: Sunday Morning Meditations for a Meaningful Life Organized by the Kadampa Centre
DESCRIPTION:“Many people think excitement is happiness…. But when you are excited you are not peaceful. True happiness is based on peace.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh \nAbout the Sessions\nJoin us on Sunday morning ( ET) for an hour to pause\, center\, and restore to a happier and more peaceful mind to support you in being a bit more resilient in a world which does not always make sense anymore. These guided meditations are to help you calm your mind\, explore your own nature and develop a more peaceful perception on life. When you are well with yourself\, you will be more able to be well with others and the world.  \nThese meditations are very practical\, they are not within a religious context\, so they are suitable for people of different beliefs\, ages and abilities\, for beginners as well as for those with more experience.  \n\n\nRegistrations are not required. \nWhat are the meditations based on?\nThey are based on a set of values and principles aimed at helping individuals cultivate a more peaceful and meaningful life. They are divided into four categories:  \n\nhow we think (humility\, patience\, contentment and delight) \nhow we act (kindness\, honesty\, generosity and right speech) \nhow we relate to others (respect\, forgiveness\, gratitude and loyalty)\nhow we find meaning (aspiration\, principles\, service and courage). \n\nThese guidelines provide a framework for personal growth\, encouraging individuals to think\, act\, relate\, and find meaning in ways that foster a harmonious and fulfilling life. \nHow to Join\nThe sessions are offered in person at the Kadampa Centre and online: \n\n\n\n\n\nTIME: 9.00 – 10.00 am ET\nDATES: Sundays from 11th May – 24th  August 2025\nONLINE: Register to join Zoom here \nIN PERSON: at the Kadampa Centre\n\n\n\nThe meditations are freely offered but if you would like to make to support the Kadampa Centre\, please make a donation using this link .  \n\nWhy meditate?\nWhen 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. \nMore info\nFor more information please visit the Kadampa Centre  website
