Buddha’s teaching on karma explains the relationship between our mind, our  actions and our experiences. With an understanding of karma we become wise  designers of our own lives . We learn how to view our present experiences in a  constructive way, how to actively prevent suffering, and how to create the most  beneficial experiences in the future.

In the book The New Eight Steps to Happiness, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso guides us through eight steps which can help us use the opportunity we have each day, to transform life's difficulties into valuable spiritual insights, bringing more meaning and happiness into our modern daily lives.

In this special weekly series, we will learn step-by-step how to meditate on the nature of the mind - a state of inner clarity that naturally restores our well being and reveals our unlimited potential for growth and development.

Are you at a loss as to how to help our world?  We are not separate from our world; each of us influences this planet and everyone on it.

The meditation known as Taking and Giving, in Tibetan “tonglen”, has been used  for centuries as a healing meditation. In this series, Paige will introduce us to this amazing meditation – which is quite simple and can be practiced by anyone!

Every day in life brings challenges.

You wake up in the morning, and very quickly become fearful, uneasy, burdened by what you have to do, unhappy about things you should have done and didn’t get to. Disturbed by other people’s behavior interfering with yours. Disappointed because you cannot do things exactly the way you planned. What do we need to do if this is our state of mind as we face each day?

Buddha’s teachings can help us find answers and show us ways to lead happier lives with foolproof step by step guidance.

In every moment we are at a crossroads — we can choose virtue or non-virtue. Each is a pathway that takes us in a direction — either towards happiness or towards suffering. Buddha gave very clear instructions on how to always make the wise choice that will lead to freedom and joy for ourselves and others.
