SUMMARY:Leah Senior with Chimpanzee
DESCRIPTION:It’s not uncommon to feel we are wandering aimlessly through life; searching for\, but never truly finding the contentment and happiness we seek. What have you daydreamed about and wished for in your life? For some it’s a large house\, well paid job or fast car. Forothers it’s reputation\, good looks\, power\, excitement or adventure. Many seek meaning and happiness in relationships. All these things can make us superficially happy for a short while\, but they can never give us the pure and everlasting happiness that all of us\, in our heart of hearts\, long for. Happiness is a state of mind\, so its cause must also be within the mind. The real cause of happiness is inner peace. Join Buddhist nun Kelsang Luma for a one-night only public talk on true happiness. Luma will explain the art of meditation\, and how to enjoy a great quality of life – whatever happens! $10 for Kadampa members | $25 for non-members Bookings scan the QR code or at meditateinballarat.org  Registration 6.30-6.50pm 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n									Kadampa Meditation Centre Australia (Ballarat Branch)info@meditateinmelbourne.org | 0455205589meditateinballarat.orgABN 86 114 195 550KMC Australia is a not-for-profit organisation 								\n				\n																														\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n					The Teacher				\n				\n									With over a decade of experience as a teacher of modern Buddhism in The New Kadampa Tradition\, Kelsang Luma is well-loved for her humble nature\, energy\, and joy in sharing Buddha’s teachings.

DESCRIPTION:It’s not uncommon to feel we are wandering aimlessly through life; searching for\, but never truly finding the contentment and happiness we seek.

What have you daydreamed about and wished for in your life? For some it’s a large house\, well paid job or fast car. Forothers it’s reputation\, good looks\, power\, excitement or adventure. Many seek meaning and happiness in relationships. All these things can make us superficially happy for a short while\, but they can never give us the pure and everlasting happiness that all of us\, in our heart of hearts\, long for. Happiness is a state of mind\, so its cause must also be within the mind. The real cause of happiness is inner peace. Join Buddhist nun Kelsang Luma for a one-night only public talk on true happiness. Luma will explain the art of meditation\, and how to enjoy a great quality of life – whatever happens! $10 for Kadampa members | $25 for non-members Bookings scan the QR code or at meditateinballarat.org  Registration 6.30-6.50pm 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n									Kadampa Meditation Centre Australia (Ballarat Branch)info@meditateinmelbourne.org | 0455205589meditateinballarat.orgABN 86 114 195 550KMC Australia is a not-for-profit organisation 								\n				\n																														\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n					The Teacher				\n				\n									With over a decade of experience as a teacher of modern Buddhism in The New Kadampa Tradition\, Kelsang Luma is well-loved for her humble nature\, energy\, and joy in sharing Buddha’s teachings.
