From Craving To Contentment - Afternoon Retreat with Gen Chitta
54 Peters Hill, Belfast, GBβ¨From Craving To Contentment - An Afternoon Retreat with Gen Chittaβ¨
We all experience cravings, compulsions and addictions of various kinds throughout our lives. The human mind and condition is such that we are always wanting something new, something better, our wishes are endless and our satisfaction fleeting.
Life seems to offer the hope of having it all, and yet delivers much frustration and disappointment. If weβre not careful we end up in an ever increasing cycle of consumption, that impacts our physical and mental health.On this afternoon of guided meditations and talks we will gain access to the Buddhist wisdom explaining the nature of attachment, the root of addiction and craving, as well as exploring even deeper, to discover the root of attachment.
Participants will leave empowered with the tools to bring about actual, gradual and deep changes in their minds, that will allow them to eventually become completely free from all destructive addictive cycles and patterns.

Introduction To Buddhism - Afternoon Retreat with Gen Chitta
54 Peters Hill, Belfast, GBβ¨Introduction To Buddhism - An Afternoon Retreat with Gen Chittaβ¨
π Book at meditateni.orgMany people are developing an interest in Buddhism and the Buddhist way of life, in part because of its practical approach to the problems we experience in our daily lives, and also because Buddhism is an open, flexible faith that may be practiced by anyone, regardless of their ethnicity or religious background.
Practicing Buddhist teachings (Dharma) is the supreme method for improving the quality of our lives because the quality of life depends not upon external development or material progress, but upon the inner development of peace and happiness.
Buddhism teaches us to take responsibility for ourselves, our actions, and the consequences of our actions. Through meditation we can follow the same path of inner transformation that Buddha followed and eventually attain a lasting inner peace and real power to benefit others.
This afternoon course will give an introduction to basic Buddhist philosophy for those wishing to gain a deeper understanding of Buddhist wisdom and the practice of meditation. Topics covered will be meditation, inner peace, karma, loving kindness, compassion and wisdom.
