Myth, Magic & Madness!

 

led by Ven Gelong Karma Jiga

 

To enjoy your life you need to clear up some myths about what happens in it. To do this you have to have a clear mind and develop a happy disposition, that’s the magic. You’ll be more likely to succeed and have a positive influence on your surroundings. I don’t know about you, but I’d like to be like that and I know who I’d rather be around! So lets make the best of it, learn how to clear our minds through paying attention, learning how to pay attention and when and where to pay attention to overcome the madness. It’s called meditation! So let’s learn while sitting and walking. It’s easy to learn, easy to apply and easy to integrate into your day.
