SUMMARY:Ballarat Film Society | Bound for Glory
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. For others 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 it’s cause must also be within the mind. The real cause ofhappiness is inner peace. Join Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Dornying for a one-night-only public talk on true happiness. Gen Dornying will explain the art of meditation\, and how to enjoy great quality of life – whatever happens! Kadampa Meditation Centre Australia | Ballarat Branch0455205589 | info@kadampa.org.auKMC Australia is a not-for-profit organisationABN 86 114 195 550 The teacher of this public talk is Gen Kelsang Dornying\, the Resident Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Centre Australia and Kadampa Meditation Centre Melbourne. Gen Dornying has been teaching Kadampa Buddhism for 20 years and teaches with a warmth and humilty that is naturally inspiring. 								\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									Cost: $25 for non-members | $10 for members.
