I write this as I return from the USA where I attended another great Buddhist Empowerment Festival in upstate New York.
To learn more go to the New Kadampa Tradition. website. To learn how to create a calm and peaceful mind because everything depends on the mind.
No matter what is going on in your life with proper training you can protect a calm and peaceful mind.That is not to say you can just ignore the problem you are experiencing,go ahead and fix it if you can.But the happiness will arise no matter what happens.
That must be a good thing.
You get that happiness by meditating on a virtuous object such as love and compassion.Firstly you must calm your mind by doing a simple breathing meditiation.Mix your mind with the breath and ignore any distractions.
If you live in Dorset UK come to my class in Poole.For more details go here
This video is a bit different from the ones I normally do.I recently went on a mediation retreat in Scotland where I was in silence for four days.I want to be able to do more of these retreats but of course they cost money and I want to be earning even when I am sitting on a cushion deep in meditation.An online business allows me to do that.Enjoy the video and as always leave your comments.
I am a Buddhist and follow the NKT as taught by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.He came to the West in the 70s teaching at Conishead Priory just outside Ulverston in the English Lake District.
Festival are held there in May and August with practitioners coming from all over the world to hear his teachings.
A third festival is held somewhere in the world every October.In 2008 it was Paris Disneyland of all places though we were in a big tent erected on a car park.Over 3000 people came to hear Geshe Kelsang’s teachings.
