Talk & Meditation:
How Acknowledging Death Enhances Life:
A Buddhist Perceptive
The simplest, most undeniable truth of our existence is that we are alive and therefore we will die. Yet, very few of us have really come to terms with this fact. The Buddhist understanding of death and dying is enormously beneficial. Instead of something to be feared or denied, remembering the impermanence of our lives can transform the truth of our death into a life-enhancing, positive energy. In this series Gen Chogyop will explain the life-enhancing meditation on death. Gaining experience of this meditation will empower us to truly make the most of our lives - to live and die joyfully and meaningfully.Everyone welcome! Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
Each class is self-contained and will feature two meditations, one at the beginning and one at the end. Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
Everyone is welcome.

Don't Worry, Be Happy
Worrying is easy. What we don’t often realize is that it also ruins our happiness.
Rob will give teachings and guide meditations that lead to mental well-being, peace and happiness, even when life is very difficult. He will explain how we can permanently solve all our suffering and problems – our unpleasant feelings – and accomplish the real meaning of our human life through receiving Buddha's teachings. Each week you will receive practical advice that you can put into practice immediately. Over time, these new understandings will not only enrich our life, but have life changing results. How fortunate we are!
