How to Cheer Up this Very Moment: A Buddhist Approach to a Wonderful Life with Tulku Thondup Rinpoche

Cheer up in this very moment by connecting to the mind's natural healing qualities.

The speed and aggression of Western life can leave us feeling stressed,depressed and physically exhausted. We forget the preciousness of human life and the richness of the world in which we live. Through understanding the rarity of a human birth and the nature of suffering, learning how to work with our negative emotions and habitual patterns, and developing sacred view, we can cheer up this very moment, regardless of our current situation. We come to realize that negative emotions and habits cause unhappiness, while virtues create merit, the seeds of happiness. In this workshop, we will practice meditation,access the four healing qualities of the mind—positive images, words,feelings and beliefs—and explore the power of sound vibrations and movement to discover our inherent wellness. You’ll return home with a mind that is naturally peaceful and open, a loving and positive attitude, and a warm and joyful energy.
