Discover Buddha’s practical wisdom for creating lasting happiness from within.

Most of us spend our lives searching for happiness in the right circumstances, the right relationships, the right moments. And yet, even when everything seems to be going well, that happiness can slip away just as quickly as it arrived.

Buddha’s teachings offer a profound and comforting insight: 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. 𝗜𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.

When we gently learn to shift the way we think and respond to the world around us, we discover a source of wellbeing that no circumstance can take away.

We’re very happy to be visiting 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝘆 to share these inspiring teachings with the local community.

During this special public talk, Buddhist nun 𝗚𝗲𝗻 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗻𝗶 will share practical insights from Buddhist wisdom that help us understand how our thoughts shape our experience of life, day by day.

Through this understanding, we can begin to loosen the grip of negativity and open the door to something more peaceful, more joyful, and more lasting.

During this talk you’ll explore:

• Why lasting happiness can never come from external conditions alone
• How your state of mind shapes every aspect of your daily experience
• Practical ways to develop a more peaceful and positive outlook
• How Buddhist wisdom helps us meet life’s challenges with clarity and confidence
• How to begin choosing happiness — starting now

𝐀 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦

This talk is designed to be accessible and welcoming to everyone.

Rather than focusing on meditation technique, the emphasis is on understanding — gaining clear insight into how the mind works, and how a more peaceful and positive way of thinking can be developed.

You don’t need to be a Buddhist, and no previous experience with meditation is necessary. Just come along and enjoy an inspiring evening of practical wisdom.
