The Science of Happiness
3 Week Meditation Course in Folkestone with Buddhist Teacher Tingy
When our mind is experiencing an incessant flow of uncomfortable emotions and negative thoughts then we can say that at that time we are UNHAPPY. On the contrary when our mind is feeling at ease, confident and light at that time we can say that we are HAPPY. The practices of meditation and mindfulness taught within Buddhism reveal the technology of happiness and wellbeing, how we can cultivate the causes of happiness and let go of the causes of unhappiness within our own heart.
In this 3 week course we will learn simple but powerful methods to heal and strengthen our mind so that we can enjoy our life more.
Classes last for an hour. They are suitable for complete beginners and those with more experience of meditation. Light refreshments will be served before or after the class.
About the course: this 3 week course aim to teach effective, meditation-based solutions to everyday problems taken from the Kadampa Buddhist tradition and classes are held at the well known Sunflower House
