Weekend Retreat with Guest Teacher: How to Create Happiness Through Understanding Karma


  • Kadampa Meditation Center Maryland (map)

If you are tired of seeking happiness and not finding it, how about learning to create it yourself? Buddha’s extraordinary teachings on karma are designed to help us do precisely that – create the happiness we long for. Through understanding the relationship between our actions and our experiences, the essence of karma, we will gain a revolutionary insight into why we experience things in the way that we do, and thus how we can profoundly change our experience for the better.

In this weekend retreat, through talks, guided meditations and discussions, Gen Kelsang Chogyop will guide us into a deep and practical understanding of Buddha’s teachings on karma. She will highlight how we can immediately apply these insights so that they give us a new, optimistic and joyful perspective on our life.
