Becoming a Friend of the World
with Sarah Paden
Saturday, October 17
Time: 10 – 11:15 am
The path to creating the most meaningful and joyful life does not have to involve making external changes in job or lifestyle. It simply involves making a shift in our intention. In this series, we will understand how, through deepening our connection with positive intentions, we can improve our life, as well as bring peace and happiness to others.
This month's focus: JOYFUL EFFORT
In Kadampa Buddhism, joyful effort is the mind that takes delight in what is virtuous and meaningful. Rather than pushing ourselves through life with pressure or obligation, joyful effort gives us the energy and enthusiasm to cultivate positive qualities, overcome obstacles, and make our spiritual practice a natural part of everyday life. We all have this joyful energy within us. Now is the time to awaken it and put it into practice.
In this class, we will focus on what Buddha meant by joyful effort, as well as learn practical ways we can apply this virtuous mind in our daily lives. Everyone welcome!
