SUMMARY:16 Guidelines-Second retreat weekend for a happier and more meaningful life | Organized by Chenrezig Institute
DESCRIPTION:About the Sessions\nJoin Peter Shepherd for the second of the in person immersive weekends at The Chenrezig Institute Wellbeing Centre to explore the 16 Guidelines in a retreat setting\,  you are welcome to attend the entire retreat\, join for a day or even one session! \nThese 16 guided meditations and discussions will take place over two immersive retreat weekends\, this will facilitate both an intellectual understanding and personal experience\, to act as a launching pad for you to bring them into your daily life. \nA Little bit of Background\nThe 16 guidelines are for everyone who would like to experience greater wellbeing\, ease\, contentment\, meaning\, fulfilment\, connection and joy. Each guideline is based on a positive quality. \nDiscoveries in neuroscience have shown that we have the potential to develop and transform our minds in a positive way. Practising these Guidelines can help strengthen our existing qualities and deepen our connection with others for a more meaningful and happier life. \nThe aim of the 16 Guidelines is to help people create long-term happiness and fulfilment for themselves and others. Each guideline represents a universal value or attitude which is rooted in the foundations of compassion and wisdom.  \nThe 16 guidelines are a contemporary presentation of ancient wisdom\, originating from the 7th-century King Songtsen Gampo from Tibet. They are a practical yet profound framework with which to orientate ourselves and our actions in the world. \nThere are precise causes of happiness and the 16 Guidelines is a powerful yet simple way for us to create these causes without needing to be associated with any particular belief or spiritual tradition. \n“Watch your thoughts\, they become your words; \nwatch your words\, they become your actions; \nwatch your actions\, they become your habits; \nwatch your habits\, they become your character; \nwatch your character\, it becomes your destiny.” \n– Lao Tzu \nBookings and Cost:\n\n\n\nThe recommended contribution is $120 but you are welcome to pay whatever you are comfortable with. Your contributions of $30\, $60 or $120 will all be very helpful allowing the Institute to continue to offer activities and courses at the center and online. \nFor more information and bookings please visit the Chenrezig Institute  website \n\n\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. \nFacilitator\nPeter Shepherd: Peter has attended numerous study and meditation retreats at Chenrezig Institute and other locations. He currently lives in Caloundra with his partner and work as a Zenthai Shiatsu therapist. His study of Zenthai Shiatsu\, Chinese Five Element Theory and Ayurveda have led him to explore the body-mind relationship in greater depth and he is passionate about how other traditions and modalities can support Buddhist practice.
