Turning Your Mind into an Ally Meditation Series
With Kadam Sharon Lovich Resident Teacher of the Je Tsongkhapa Kadampa Buddhist Center (Located in Asheville)

“Although living beings wish to be free from suffering,
They run straight towards the causes of suffering
And although they wish for happiness
Out of ignorance they destroy it like a foe"
Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life
~Shantideva~
In our ordinary life, even though we work very hard to find happiness it remains elusive for us, whereas problems seem to come naturally, without any effort. Since we often develop negative states of mind that easily destroy our happiness, we need to change what we are doing with our mind. If instead, we can learn how to partner with our own peaceful and positive states of mind, then we will come to understand that our mind can be our most powerful ally and a sincere and reliable friend. Includes guided meditation, a talk and time for discussion. You are welcome to drop-in for the whole series or any weeks that work for you.
