Finding Ease in Change

Everything in life is always shifting – our bodies, moods, relationships, the world around us.
Buddhism teaches that impermanence is not something to fear, but something to embrace, because it helps us understand the true nature of life.

In these Monday night sessions, we will explore impermanence as a core Buddhist teaching and discover how recognising change can bring more ease, resilience, and even joy into our everyday lives.
Seeing things as they really are, we can loosen our grip, let go of unnecessary struggle, and find more peace in the present moment.
Please join us in reflecting on this gentle but powerful truth, which touches every part of our life and experience.

These relaxed and informal sessions run for one hour and include guided meditations, a talk and discussion.


A facility fee of $5 or $10 (for those able to contribute more) goes towards the running of the Centre.
Everyone is welcome; there is no need to book.

MEDITATIONS for Modern Minds

Volume 3

‘The idea is to make our mind happy by letting go of the unrealistic expectation that things are going to stay still in the way that we want them to. So it’s a process of letting go of such unrealistic expectations.’

 

 

         ~ Jeremy Cohen, meditation teacher at Tara Institute

​

We all want to be happy, but how do we get to that place?

​

Buddhist teachings help us train our mind to see the world realistically, with wisdom and compassion.

Tara Institute’s Meditation for Modern Minds book series brings this ancient Buddhist wisdom into a contemporary context, where practitioner-teachers integrate their real-life experiences into their teachings.

In this fourth volume, these teachers discuss a practical approach to happiness, which includes the practice of gratitude, letting go of expectations, improving our relationships, overcoming attachment, developing love and compassion, and letting go of disturbing emotions.

There are also guided meditations to clear the mind and deepen our understanding of the mind.

By contemplating the ideas and practising the meditations presented in this book, we can create a space for inner peace and joy in our busy lives.

Lama Zopa said: My point here is for you to understand what we are doing and what you are helping with. This is so that you can rejoice. It really is unbelievable, incredible, what you are helping with, and this creates so much benefit for the world and for sentient beings. This actually creates the cause to liberate so many beings. This is an incredible opportunity for you to rejoice, and if you rejoice and then dedicate the merits, it is amazing.
