SUMMARY:Calm Abiding Meditation with Karma Zangpo
DESCRIPTION:Karma Zangpo will guide us in a weekend of instructions and practice of calm abiding meditation. This meditation is about quieting and stabilizing the mind. \nThis weekend is open to all\, whether starting out on the path of meditation\, or a longer-term practitioner. \nThe reason we practice meditation is to attain happiness. With regard to short-term happiness\, we usually mean either physical pleasure or mental pleasure or both of them. But if you look at either of these pleasant experiences\, their root has to be a mind that is at peace and free from suffering. As long as your mind is unhappy and devoid of tranquility or peace\, no matter how much physical pleasure you experience\, your mind will not know true happiness. On the other hand\, even if you lack the ideal physical circumstances of wealth and so on\, if your mind is at peace you will be happy anyway. \nThrangu Rinpoche\, Teachings on the Practice of Meditation \nCost\nThe cost includes all meals and accommodation from Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime.
