Peace is Possible: Public Talk and Meditation with Internationally Renowned Buddhist Teacher Gen Samten Kelsang

Build authentic optimism. Pessimism drains of energy and makes it impossible to change. A fake optimism would be pretending everything is positive when its not. Authentic, true optimism comes from understanding what we can change and making an effort to do so.

If we want peace in the world, we need peace in our communities. If we want peace in our communities we need peace in our own mind. Through practicing meditation, we build a wise optimism based on our capacity to change our own mind and find peace from within. This then contributes to peaceful interactions and relationships, and this eventually will lead to a peaceful world.

In this talk, we will see how to use meditation to tap into this happy, peaceful feeling and how to use this to uplift the mind to an encouraged, hopeful, energized place. Everyone welcome!
