Date: Fri 10/22/2010
Time: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Where: Studio Bliss
A talk on happiness & meditation with Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche. We often think that if we are lucky we will get to be happy, but happiness is who we are. We can spend our entire lives searching for happiness externally, but true happiness can only be found within. If we simply remove the barriers between us and our true nature, our inner happiness comes out. When we know our minds are fundamentally comfortable, innately happy, then wherever we go, whatever we do, happiness is always with us. In this talk, Buddhist meditation master Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche will introduce us to our natural state of happiness and explain methods for expanding our experience of it through meditation and extending it to others. Topics will include: * The true meaning of relaxation and simple techniques to help us experience it * Concise meditation instructions for resting the mind in its natural state * The benefits of resting the mind * The importance of compassion * The results of meditation: happiness, inner peace, and enlightenmentBeginners welcome—no previous experience with meditation or Buddhist practice is necessary.
