Concentration
Saturday-Sunday Course

with Gen Tharchin
Tharpaland
September 26 -27 2009

Happiness arises spontaneously from peace of mind, and peace of mind arises spontaneously when the causes of suffering within our mind, our delusions, are not functioning and when our mind is concentrated and still.

The course will focus on what it means to develop concentration and how we can systematically train in concentration in daily life.

This course is ideal preparation for those who wish to engage in the Tranquil Abiding Retreat in November which requires six weeks of training on your chosen object of concentration in daily practice prior to the retreat.

The Course starts at 11am on Saturday and finishes with lunch on Sunday and will include a period for Q&A. The cost includes all meals and one night of accommodation. It is also possible to book food and accommodation from Friday evening for those who wish to arrive the night before.

Priority for those places on the daycourse will be given to those who also book the Tranquil Abiding Retreat. Please make both these bookings at the same time if possible or indicate that you would like to attend the retreat on your booking form.

"If you realise your own mind, you will become a Buddha; you should not seek Buddhahood elsewhere." Buddha Shakyamuni

Through understanding and developing our mind, we will come to experience a lasting inner peace, freedom and happiness, an increasing ability to love and to benefit others, and a profound wisdom realising ultimate truth that leads to full enlightenment.

This course is designed to generate a deep and practical understanding of our mind. A clear explanation of the basic psychological foundations of Mahayana Buddhism will be offered, together with guided meditations, in a way that can be useful to anyone on a personal, practical or spiritual level.
