# Event Details - **Event Name**: Meditations for Peace of Mind with John Vlismas - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 29 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 am – Tue, 29 Sep, 2026 at 07:45 am (+02:00) - **Event Description**: Drop in or Online A 4-Week Course based on How to Transform Your Life by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche Most of us carry a quiet sense that our life is somehow out of our control — that things happen to us rather than arising from causes we have set in motion. This four-week course gently challenges that assumption, drawing on one of the most practical and liberating teachings in Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche’s How to Transform Your Life: the four general characteristics of karma. Understanding how our actions – of body, speech and mind – shape our experience is a blueprint for genuine freedom. When we see clearly how happiness arises and how suffering arises, we discover that we are not helpless. We are, as Venerable Geshe teaches, the creators of our own experience. Each week we hear one characteristic of karma taught directly from the text, explore it through guided meditation, and take one simple practice into daily life. No prior experience is needed. Beginners are warmly welcome. About the Teacher: John Vlismas is a student on our Foundation Study Programme and brings his own personal life experience of how practicing Buddha’s advice on meditation and living it in daily modern life, has brought great insight and meaning to his life.
