The Art of Happiness: Public Talk with Visiting Buddhist Teacher
Friday, June 28, 2024, 1900 - 2030
In today's busy and stimulus-driven world, many are realising that happiness gained through material wealth and development of our physical world is short-lived. We jump from one desire to the next, one job, partner, home, car to the next, but find we're still unsatisfied. While modern science and material development can alleviate physical ailments, it will never be able to cure an unhappy and unbalanced mind.
During this evening talk, held at Meon Valley Hotel, we will explore a different approach - simple yet effective techniques from the Buddhist tradition for finding calm, focus, and a sense of wellbeing amidst everyday challenges and change.
With time and practice, we can regain control of our minds, helping us to manage life's stresses and handle challenges effectively. This helps us be at peace with ourselves and our surroundings, and find a different kind of happiness - one that is not dependent on having the perfect external circumstances.
About the Speaker

David has studied under various teachers, with Dr. B. Alan Wallace as his primary teacher, and is influenced by Tibetan Buddhism among other traditions, recognising the value and benefit of multiple points-of-view. He focuses on meditation training and core, practical Buddhist principles in his teachings.
