Building Resilience
This transformative meditation series explores some of the most powerful meditation techniques taught by Buddha, designed to cultivate mental strength and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. These extraordinary meditations also teach a special method to help others through combining imagination, wisdom and concentration. Join us on this journey toward deeper inner strength and lasting joy!
The course is based on the book How to Transform Your Life by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. This book offers many methods to solve our own and others’ problems. The instructions given in the book are scientific methods to improve our human nature. Everybody needs to be good-natured with a good heart, because in this way we can solve our own problems as well as those of others, and we can make our human life meaningful.
