Meditation functions to make our mind peaceful and calm. Through the practice of meditation, we can come to enjoy a spacious feeling in the mind, and many of our usual problems begin to fall away. Difficult situations become easier to deal with, and we naturally feel warm and well disposed towards others.

Take the opportunity to unplug, slow down and escape to the Dandenong Ranges for our Weekend Meditation Retreat.

This retreat will be taught by Gerry Bensoussan, an experienced and well-loved teacher in the New Kadampa Tradition, known for presenting Buddha’s teachings in a way that is kind, practical and easy to understand.

Everyone is welcome - no experience is needed!

TONIGHT IN BRUNSWICK | The Wheel of Life: A Buddhist Map of Everything

A picture speaks a thousand words. In drawing the Wheel of Life, Buddha captured the full range of insights he had revealed throughout his many years of teaching.

Tonight, Gen Kelsang Rabten will show how this intricate image is a map of all our sufferings and all the joys we are capable of, and how it illuminates the path that leads to a state beyond sorrow. After the lecture there will be time for questions and answers, followed by refreshments and an opportunity to continue the discussion.

Friday 4 September | 7–8.15pm
Unit 104, 219 Albion St
$15 | Members free

Everyone is welcome!
