Wai Cheong will give teachings on the fundamentals of Buddhism by examining happiness (September), negative emotions and emotions.

Changing our Negative Thinking

Sunday 22 October (10am to 3pm) – AM, PM and whole-day options available.

Thinking is a marvelous ability of our human mind. However, when we develop unhelpful habits that keep us trapped in repetitive stressful thinking, it can be detrimental to our physical and mental health. In this workshop we will dive into the Buddha’s advice on how to relate to our different thinking habits and the various strategies we can apply to transform them into our allies.

Working with our Emotions

Sunday 26 November (10am-3pm) – AM, PM and whole day options available.

A simple vegetarian lunch will be included.

Our emotions are our responses to the many changes and challenges in our life. Some of our emotional habits are helpful and wholesome, while others can become unhelpful and destructive. The Buddha’s teachings contain many instructions on how to become mindful of our emotional habits, strengthen the wholesome habits, and transform those that are harmful so that we can accomplish the goals of freedom from suffering and finding genuine happiness.

NOTE: For both events the morning workshop will include explanations with time for Q&A and discussion, along with guided reflections to connect with our personal experiences. 

The afternoon meditation session will introduce meditative techniques to develop mindfulness of thoughts and ways to change our relationship to thinking.
