Design Your Life
Happiness, Success & the Law of Karma
Half-day Course with Gen Kelsang Chodor
Why are some people naturally happy and successful, while others experience problems and obstacles? Why is it that when we get what we want, we often fail to derive satisfaction from having it? Why are contentment and good fortune elusive, while difficulties arise effortlessly? How can we change this situation?
In this half-day course, we will look at how our actions lead to our experiences of happiness or suffering. Through understanding and practising these profound teachings, we can learn to design our future experiences. We can create conditions for future happiness and spiritual progress, which is the true meaning of human life.
This course is a perfect introduction for the Guru Yoga & Mandala Offering Retreat that follows, from Sunday, June 23 in the morning, to Thursday, June 27 lunchtime. By engaging in this in-depth Buddhist practice where we imagine offering the entire universe visualized as a Pure Land, we can accumulate a vast amount of positive karma or merit. Bookings for this retreat are made separately.
