A Peaceful Mind in a Painful Body with Gen Mila
Advertisement
When our body is ill, the mind often suffers twice – once from the illness, and again from worry and fear. Meditation is not a replacement for medical care, and Buddhist teachers are clear that we should see a doctor when we need one. But meditation can ease that second layer of suffering.
We learn to meet illness with patience, and a beautiful meditation called “taking and giving” that turns our own difficulty into a doorway to compassion.
In this four-week series of meditation classes in Johannesburg, we look at four situations everyone meets sooner or later, and learn practical ways to meet each one with a calmer, kinder and more positive mind.

Everyone is welcome.
