Calming the Anxious Mind
A Special Event Meditation Course
With Internationally Renowned Visiting Teacher
Gen Kelsang Rabten
Sat 2 March · 9.15am – 12.30pm · $50/$40
Anxiety and stress are an increasingly common problem for people in our busy, modern world. These states of mind prevent us from experiencing peace and enjoying life.
Meditation is an effective way to combat negative states of mind and create a sense of mental freedom. By gaining experience of Buddhist meditation techniques and positive thinking, we can learn to control our mind, rather than allowing our mind to control us. Through this, we will be able to keep a calm and happy mind in all situations.
