Mondays, 7:30pm-9pm
w/Resident Teacher Rebecca Gauthier

Our lives are so complicated and dissatisfying. In our relentless search for happiness, we use our time and energy seeking so many different things. We want to change our job, our partner, our home, our situation - but until we change our restless discontented mind, we will never find the happiness we seek. If we are contented, we are happy all the time.

During this weekly series, resident teacher Rebecca Gauthier will share with us Buddha’s practical advice on how to overcome our problem of discontentment, and enjoy the peace and satisfaction that can only come from learning to still our restless mind.
