Letting Go of Anger & Frustration Report

Gen Kelsang Lhachog will be teaching from How to Solve Our Human Problems by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso - you can find this book here. We don't need to be stuck feeling grumpy, restless or sour - no matter what our external circumstances may be. When our mind is filled with the strength of patient acceptance, nothing is a problem for us.

Accomplishing Profound Insights Report

Meditation can lead us to an experience of wisdom and compassion that transforms our life irreversibly. To accomplish this, we need to recognise the key assumptions we're holding onto which are deeply mistaken, and blocking us from spiritual realisations. If we want to radically change our mental experience to one of powerful peace, we need to identify the wrong views we're currently holding onto and learn how to replace them with pure wisdom.

Simply Meditate Report

Learn how to become a confident and experienced meditator through these classes that emphasise practical guided meditations. Be guided through simple meditations that give rise to an experience of mental peace and wellbeing.

A terrific day. The course was very well organised and the day ran smoothly. The contents of the course, which could be complicated at certain points, was explained in a simplific manner and was therefore easily understood. I just loved Kelsang Monlam's sense of humour; she is very easy to identify with and her down to earth manner made the day a delight.

I decided to try meditation for the first time due to relationship issues / depression. Had my first session here tonight and it was amazingly powerful. Just what I needed! Will definitely be back.

A really lovely and energetic community. A beautiful inner-city temple where you can relax and connect with your inner peace. The classes and courses taught here, and throughout other Sydney locations, are life-changing and anyone can put the instructions into practice.
