“Our world is as impermanent as autumn clouds, with our birth and death being like the entrance and exit of an actor on the stage. ”
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso How to Transform Your Life
Buddha said that all produced things are impermanent – that is, they change moment by moment. This isn’t just a philosophical theory, but a fact of life; the way things are. Through not being aware of or accepting this reality, we become anxious about difficult situations and attached to people and things – wishing them to remain the same and last forever – and then become deeply disappointed when they do not.
Making ourselves familiar with the truth of impermanence enables us to be more realistic about things and frees us from a great deal of unnecessary suffering.
In this half-day course, Gen Gakyi will explore practical methods to apply this profound wisdom in our daily lives.
Suitable both for those new to Buddhist meditation and those more familiar with the practice.
This event is suitable for everyone, beginners welcome.
The teacher for this course is Gen Kelsang Gakyi, Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Centre Nottingham, much respected for her ability to present Buddha’s teachings with warmth, humour and clarity.
