| Mar 06 Mar 13 Mar 20 Mar 22 | By The Buddhist Library |  Three Thursday Talks: Thu 6 Mar, 7:30pm – 9.00pm Thu 13 Mar, 7:30pm – 9.00pm Thu 20 Mar 2025, 7:30pm – 9.00pm 1-day Retreat: Sat 22 Mar 2025 from 10am – 4pm Venue: The Buddhist Library Indicate attendance here so that we can better plan for the programme About this Programme Suffering and problems are a natural, inevitable part of our human existence, as the Buddha pointed out in the Four Noble Truths. Even when we take to heart the Buddha’s teachings and follow the path he showed—which leads to complete liberation from all suffering—we will inevitably run into problems along the way. If we do not know how to deal with these, we could become discouraged and want to give up our practice. Fortunately, there are methods we can use when facing the problems and difficulties of life that enable us to remain positive, resilient, and joyful. We can even transform these problems into aids for our Dharma practice, helping us to cultivate positive qualities like wisdom and compassion, and to purify our karma and afflictions. During these three evening talks and one-day retreat, Ven Khadro will share methods from the Tibetan Mind Training (lojong) and Path to Enlightenment (lamrim) teachings on how to transform suffering, and will guide meditations on these. About Ven. Sangye Khadro Ven. Sangye Khadro at the Buddhist Library Talks and One-Day Retreat: "“The Art of Transforming Suffering into Happiness”. Taking place 6, 13, 20, 22 Mar 2025.
