SUMMARY:Sunday Morning Meditations for a more Peaceful Life Organized by Maitreya Institute - Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning Meditations for a more Peaceful Life Organized by Maitreya Institute“Many people think excitement is happiness…. But when you are excited you are not peaceful. True happiness is based on peace.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh\nAbout the Sessions\nJoin us on Sunday morning for an hour to pause\, center\, and restore to a happier and more peaceful mind to support you in being a bit more resilient in a world which does not always make sense anymore. These guided meditations are to help you calm your mind\, explore your own nature and develop a more peaceful perception on life. When you are well with yourself\, you will be more able to be well with others and the world.\nThese meditations are very practical\, they are not within a religious context\, so they are suitable for people of different beliefs\, ages and abilities\, for beginners as well as for those with more experience.\nRegistrations are not required.\nWhat are the meditations based on?\nThey are based on a set of values and principles aimed at helping individuals cultivate a more peaceful and meaningful life. They are divided into four categories:\nhow we think (humility\, patience\, contentment and delight)\nhow we act (kindness\, honesty\, generosity and right speech)\nhow we relate to others (respect\, forgiveness\, gratitude and loyalty)\nhow we find meaning (aspiration\, principles\, service and courage).\nThese guidelines provide a framework for personal growth\, encouraging individuals to think\, act\, relate\, and find meaning in ways that foster a harmonious and fulfilling life.\nHow to Join\nThe sessions are offered online:\nTIME: 10.00 – 11.00 am CE(S)T\,\nDATES: Sundays from 19th January – 4th May 2025\nONLINE: Join Zoom here – Passcode: 353076\nThe meditations are freely offered but if you would like to make to support Maitreya Institute\, please make a donation using this link . The meditations will be recorded and made available to you to use them during the week. Please send us an email if you would like to join us to get access to the recordings.\nWhy meditate?\nWhen you control your mind with wisdom you create the space you need to discover peace and joy. Your life then becomes peaceful and joyful and somewhat protected from the ups and downs of the external world. For beginner to advanced meditators.\nFacilitator\nVen. Gönpo is an accredited FDCW facilitator and a Buddhist monk based in Australia. He discovered Buddhism as a child through martial arts movies and TV shows\, this was the inspiration for the childhood dream of becoming a wandering kung fu monk. It was a few decades before part of that dream could be realized with many other life adventures distracting him from the spiritual path in his teens and twenties.\nIt wasn’t until he was in his thirties that Gönpo began to really understand the power of Buddhist teachings when he used them to navigate the emotional roller-coaster of life’s many experiences such as a marriage break down and raising children alone. Fortunately\, due the kindness of his teachers and great good karma\, after his children finished school\, Gönpo was able to fulfil the long-held dream of becoming a monk\, albeit without the kung fu. Ending a 20-year career as a high school teacher of languages\, he become a wandering monk spending time studying and meditating in Europe\, India and Nepal before returning to his hometown\, Brisbane\, to take up the role of Spiritual Care Practitioner at Karuna Hospice Services\, giving care and support to people with life limiting illnesses and their families.\nIn his time as a school teacher\, it was the feedback from students around mindfulness practices and life lessons that had the biggest impact on Gönpo\, motivating him to become a 16 Guidelines for a Happy Life facilitator. In his sessions\, Gönpo encourages discussion and deep engagement in the topics\, challenging participants to examine their own ways of thinking. Through understanding how we are now\, we are better equipped to develop the habits that will bring us closer to how we want to be\, interacting with our own minds and the people around us in ways that will make us and the communities we live in\, happier and healthier.\nMore info\nFor more information please visit the Maitreya Institute website

They are a practical yet profound framework with which to orientate ourselves and our actions in the world.\nThere are precise causes of happiness and the 16 Guidelines is a powerful yet simple way for us to create these causes without needing to be associated with any particular belief or spiritual tradition.\n“Watch your thoughts\, they become your words;\nwatch your words\, they become your actions;\nwatch your actions\, they become your habits;\nwatch your habits\, they become your character;\nwatch your character\, it becomes your destiny.”\n– Lao Tzu\nBookings and Cost:\nThe recommended contribution is $120 but you are welcome to pay whatever you are comfortable with.

SUMMARY:Cultiver la Gratitude | en français - Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Cultiver la Gratitude | en français« La gratitude est l’un des plus doux raccourcis pour trouver la paix et le bonheur intérieur. »\n-Sa Sainteté Le Dalaï-Lama\nPlease note this workshop is offered in French.\nAperçu de l’atelier :\nLa gratitude nous aide à retenir\, célébrer et apprécier chaque jour\, avant que celui-ci nous échappe dans le sablier de l’expérience. Cet atelier explorera les moyens d’apprivoiser la gratitude\, de la provoquer et de la cultiver pour s’imprégner de toute sa puissance.\nLa sagesse de la gratitude se manifeste en changeant de regard. Elle embrasse toutes les peines de l’existence pour mieux les transfigurer. Comment la réjouissance\, l’humilité et l’acceptation permettent-elles de laisser fleurir la gratitude dans notre quotidien ? Comment la gratitude est-elle source de générosité et de compassion ?\nCet atelier très pratique alternera apports théoriques\, échanges et méditations sur les questions suivantes :\n– Comment cultiver la gratitude en soi et dans son rapport au monde ?\n– Quel sont les obstacles à la gratitude et comment les surmonter ?\n– Quelles qualités développer pour générer la gratitude dans son quotidien ?\nSchedule\nDATE: 29 June 2024\nHORAIRE: 10.00 – 18.00\nLIEU: En Presentiel\, Centre Kalachakra a Paris\nFACILITATRICE: Virginie Cornet-Butcher\nINSCRIPTIONS: info@centre-kalachakra.net
