I Can(’t) Settle My Mind
SAT June 17 | 10am - 1pm

Perhaps we may think that we can't meditate because our mind is our schedule is full or we are just anxious and overwhelmed a lot. Gen Kelsang Chokyi will guide meditations to illuminate within your own experience how you can settle your mind.

CULTIVATE INNER PEACE
We all want to be happy, even during sleep. How can we do this? We can do this through training in meditation. Meditation makes our mind peaceful, and when our mind is peaceful we are happy all the time, even if our external conditions are poor. On the other hand, when our mind is not peaceful we are not happy, even if our external conditions are excellent. Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible — everyone needs meditation.
