What is the Real Source of Hardship & Pain?

Current Topic:

What is the Real Source of Hardship & Pain?

Everybody welcome!


Join us every month as we explore a series of thought-provoking and practical questions:

  • What exactly is the mind?

  • What is the real source of hardship and pain?

  • How can I stop overthinking?

  • How can I make myself truly happy?

  • How can I truly help others?


Buddhist monk and meditation teacher Gen Zamling will give insightful and inspiring teachings helping us understand our mind and how we can use meditation and special ways of thinking to improve the quality of our mind and life. Each class also includes guided meditations and time for questions and discussion.


This class will be based upon the acclaimed book How to Understand the Mind by Buddhist scholar & meditation master, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Copies of the book are available for purchase in the bookshop.


No previous experience is necessary, and absolutely everyone is welcome, regardless of background or belief. We look forward to meeting you!
