Happiness is something that each one of us has the potential to experience, but often our habitual ways of thinking take us in the opposite direction. Buddha’s teachings offer a practical path to cultivating simple mental attitudes that foster genuine, lasting well-being. In each class of this series we will explore, through teachings and guided meditations, how we can nurture powerful mental habits that fend off gloom and negativity, and bring a freeing lightness of heart and mind.
By training in these simple and uplifting habits during each weekly session you will learn how to carry a sense of inner peace into your daily activities, relationships, and challenges. Whether you are new to meditation or looking to refresh your practice, you will discover how a small shift in perspective can fundamentally change your experience of the world, making every moment an opportunity for inner development and mental peace.

How to Realise Your Potential: Developing the Mind of Enlightenment
Starting on Jun 2 we will begin to explore Buddhist methods that unlock our compassion - the principal cause of enlightenment.
What is Meditation?
Meditation is a mind that concentrates single-pointedly on a virtuous object, and is a mental action that is the main cause of mental peace. The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful so that we can find relief from mental discomfort, worries or anxiety. Through a qualified meditation practice, we become deeply familiar with states of mind that are conducive to happiness.

- 10 min: Welcome & introduction
