The Power of a Calm Mind
~ The Science of Inner Peace ~
Public Talk and Meditation
Thursday September 4, from 7 to 8:30pm
At the Lantern, 35 Barnes Rd. in St. John's
(in the Cape Spear Room)
with Buddhist monk & Teacher
Gen Kelsang Thekchen
In a world where stress, anxiety, and uncertainty seem constant, finding peace and clarity can feel out of reach. Using Buddha's ancient wisdom we can discover methods to develop real happiness and inner calm - through learning to control and transform our own mind.
No previous experience of meditation is required, and no special clothing or equipment is required. Everyone is welcome!
This public talk will be followed by a Saturday half-day course on Sept. 5 with Gen Thekchen, called "The Essentials for a Strong Daily Meditation Practice". Click here for more information.
