Day courses are an ideal way to learn more about meditation and inner peace. Each course examines a particular aspect of Buddha’s teachings in greater depth than would be possible during an evening class. Particular attention is paid to how meditation can be used in practice especially in solving problems in our daily life.
The day courses at Buddha Land are taught by Gen Kelsang Päljin, a Buddhist Monk and the Resident Teacher of Buddha Land Kadamapa Buddhist Centre.

By following the internal path as laid down by Buddha, we can reach the destination of permanent inner peace and the ultimate destination of perfect enlightenment.
To support and nourish our journey and ensure we remain on the correct path, Buddha taught many Vows and Commitments which we can take and keep. It is said that keeping moral discipline is the great earth that supports the abundant crop of our Dharma realisations.

When we experience life’s difficulties or are harmed by others it is tempting to blame the circumstances or other people. However, this will only add more negativity to what has already been created, and cause more suffering. Blaming ourself also doesn’t solve the problem. In this day course we will learn how to let go of blame and resentment, and how to take empowering responsibility for our emotions and how we feel.
