Course Description
Here in this precious meditation center in the Mitte of Berlin, we can gather our mind safely in. We refuel ourself with optimism and the power of purpose, determination and hope. Dedicated to world peace and existing solely for that reason, this center gives everyone the opportunity to begin and/or deepen their meditation practise. There is a strong connection between inner peace and outer peace, and our focus is to begin with inner peace in order to create the reality of outer peace.
In our series of English meditation classes offered in February 2024 we will focus on our ability to become the person we would really like to be. Everyone’s main wish is to be happy….all the time…which means that we can train in discovering our naturally happy peaceful mind, and then train in the mindfulness of maintaining this powerful peaceful mind. Thus making it so much easier to negotiate life’s inevitable challenges. We replace frustration and overwhelm with a strong adventurous spirit of possibility and change. We encourage ourself. We have fun.
We start each class by relaxing and gathering the mind in, we discover and explore an inner peaceful state. We abide there for a while, deeply enjoying.
“Whenever we meditate, we are performing a mental action that will cause us to experience inner peace in the future” – Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso (How to Transform your Life)
