Waterstones Belfast is set to host an inspiring evening of meditation and mindfulness based on the new book “How To Transform Your Life”, by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, the author of 22 highly acclaimed books on meditation and Buddhism.
The free event will be guided by Gen Kelsang Chitta – the principal teacher at Potala Kadampa Buddhist Centre in Belfast – and will give the public the opportunity to experience first-hand the benefits that come from making your mind calm and peaceful.
Join in on two guided meditations from the book which give a taste of ancient Buddhist wisdom that is both practical and easily applicable to our busy modern lives.
These powerful techniques have been used timelessly to transform the mind and help you remain peaceful even in the most difficult situations.

From The Book
“When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be happy all the time and to be free from problems, we must develop and maintain a peaceful mind.”
