Mindfulness Based Peace and Happiness

Permanent peace and happiness cannot be found out there in the external world. It has to be cultivated within yourself, by yourself. If it is dependent upon external circumstances, it will not last long. The Buddha prescribed tools and techniques for the cultivation of a peaceful and joyous state of mind in his famous discourse on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (also known as the Satipatthana Sutta). In this 8 week course we will study the theory and practice of these techniques.

This course will:
- Help you learn about the fundamental teachings of the Buddha on the causes of suffering in our lives

- Provide effective tools to deal with suffering, stress and anxiety in our lives

- Teach practical techniques for meditation for use in your daily practice

- Help you transform your thoughts which can lead to major shifts in your sense of well being and your relationships

- Help you connect with other like minded persons trying to learn meditation and awaken their minds
