See all- Meditation Class with optional community dinner:Finding Happiness Inside OurselfKadampa Meditation Center North Carolina, Charlotte, NC$15.00
https://www.meditationcharlotte.org/
We all want to be happy, but how often do we seek happiness outside our self? It might seem like a cliché, but it’s true that we’ll never be happy with anyone else if we’re not happy with our self. The first step to finding happiness inside our self is working on our own mind. Therefore, the basic Buddhist meditations are for establishing happiness within our own mind.
Community Dinner is right after class upstairs in the Community Dining Room.

Emptiness is the way things really are. Emptiness is not nothingness. It is the way things exist as opposed to the way they appear. Realizing emptiness is the method to release our mind from the ignorance of self-grasping. As the great Yogi Saraha said, “If your mind is released permanently from self-grasping, there is no doubt that you will be released permanently from suffering.”

We all want to be happy all the time, and we never want to suffer. Unfortunately, we experience a lot of unnecessary unhappiness and mental disturbance. We need to understand more clearly how to create happiness, not suffering.
In these classes, we will explore and meditate on the essential practices of gratitude, love, and compassion, leading us gradually to a supremely confident wish to realize our spiritual potential fully, so that we can really benefit others in more profound ways.
