Meditations for Inner Peace
Saturday 22 August | 10:00 – 13:00 (in-person or online)
Half-Day Course Meditations for Inner Peace – with Bruno Costa.
In the busyness of modern life, inner peace can feel out of reach — but it’s closer than you think. This half-day course explores Buddhist meditation methods specifically designed to cultivate a deep, lasting sense of calm. Through guided practice and practical teachings, you’ll learn how to access stillness even in the middle of a busy day.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche says:
“The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions.
If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness.”
Everybody welcome. Suitable for all levels of experience.
Please note: The lessons during this retreat are taught in English
