About this Event
Love, Desire & Attachment
A Practical Four-Week Meditation Course
for Everyday Life
Thursdays Nov 26 to Dec 17
7:30 pm - 8:45 pm
$15 / class or $50 for the series of 4 classes
Important: Advance booking is required
In these meditation classes, we will learn how to bring more harmony, joy, and peace into our relationships by understanding the difference between love, desire, and attachment.
These different minds are often confused, and in close relationships we may mistakenly think that our love itself is the cause of the pain we experience.
Buddha taught that love can never cause us problems, but the “sticky” mind of attachment can.
When we cling to others to fulfil our wishes, we become emotionally dependent, and like a balloon in the wind, we lose inner stability and mental freedom.
Through developing pure love, we can care for others without clinging and discover a stable source of happiness within our own mind.
The sessions include two guided meditations and a practical talk on the weekly topic.
Each class stands on its own, so you can join at any time and book individual sessions.
Meditations are practised seated on chairs.
Whether you are new to meditation or have some experience, you are warmly invited to join us.
**IMPORTANT: Due to city by-laws, advance book is required.
