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.

We all want to feel good about ourselves but, not understanding our true potential, we often feel inadequate and lack self-confidence. True confidence comes from within and doesn’t depend upon what others think of us. In this half-day course we will learn to recognise and abandon negative states of mind that are the true causes of our suffering and problems.
