Saturday Class

Finding Balance, Finding Peace

A Half-Day Retreat with Buddhist Teacher, David Shea

Saturday, October 19, 10:00am – 1:00pm

Everyone wants to be happy and no one wants to suffer, but very few people understand the real causes of happiness and suffering. All our life we have tried to adjust the external world, trying to make it conform to our wishes, yet still we have not found pure and lasting happiness.

If we have to walk across rough and thorny ground, one way of protecting our feet is to cover the whole ground with leather; but this is not very practical. We can achieve the same result in a much simpler way – by covering our feet. Similarly, if we wish to protect ourself from suffering we can either try to change the whole world to make it conform to our wishes, or we can change our mind. Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions.

Through the inner practice of meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer form of happiness within. Eventually, we will be able to stay happy and experience balance and peace, even in the most difficult circumstances.
