Saturday WorkshopAt Northlife Aesthetics and Wellness Transforming Pain into Peace with Buddhist MeditationSat Sep 26| 10am - 1pm With Kadampa Buddhist Teacher, Kadam Trina GuntherIn the midst of problems, conflicts and adversities, how can we maintain a balanced and positive mind? Buddha taught a special method that enables us to use all our difficult circumstances and painful experiences for profound mental growth, called “transforming adverse conditions into the path.” Transforming adverse condition into the path is vital in these degenerate times because we are constantly surrounded by difficulties. There is no way of avoiding difficult situations, but if we can change our attitude toward them, they will no longer be problems for us. In this workshop, Kadam Trina will introduce this method on how to transform our mind from unhappy and anxious to peaceful and positive with whatever circumstances arise in our life. There will be guided meditations and opportunties for Q and A. Schedule10:00-11:15amRefreshment break11:45am-1:00pm Everyone is welcome! No meditation experience is required. Save the date
