Peaceful Mind in Stressful Times
FREE PUBLIC TALK with Gen Samten
Thursday August 26
6:00–7:30pm
Middletown Thrall Library
11-19 Depot Street
In a world of uncertainty, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Circumstances change constantly and we feel as if we have no control. Our computer crashes, our work-load increases, our partner leaves, or someone we love becomes ill. In this free talk, Gen Samten will share Buddha’s time-tested advice to help us maintain a happy and balanced mind, no matter what occurs. With warm, light-hearted humor and practical examples, he will guide us to gain confidence that we can develop and keep a peaceful mind in stressful times. Everyone welcome!

Join us for Free Meditation Workshops at the Kadampa World Peace Temple
Rx for a Happy Life
Saturday, September 18 10am – 1pm.
with Resident Teacher
Buddhist Monk Gen Samten Kelsang
With warmth and light-hearted humor, Gen Samten Kelsang will share basic meditation techniques and show us practically how to “administer” meditation to improve every situation we encounter. Meditation is simple to learn and the most powerful prescription available to live a happy life.
Everyone is welcome to attend this free workshop. No experience is necessary and participants will have the option to be seated on cushions or comfortable chairs. The workshop will include a talk, guided meditations, discussion and the opportunity to relax during the break in our World Peace Cafe
After the workshop if you would like to spend more time at the Kadampa World Peace Temple, a vegetarian lunch will be available for $5; temple tours will be offered, and the shop and bookstore will be open for browsing. You can also just stroll our serene grounds, sit by the pond and watch the flowers bloom, or hike our wooded trails.
