Everyone left with plenty to think about, and a delicious taste of meditation to savor.

KMC paris
KMC Paris invited Gen Eupamé, the National Spiritual Director for France, to give a public talk entitled Being Happy through Meditation.
Gen Eupamé explained there is nothing magical about meditation. Simply through training we will discover how to develop positive states of mind that will gradually replace our negative states of mind.
This will allow us to control anger, attachment or even jealousy and eventually totally eradicate these mental faults that ruin our life.
Sixty people enjoyed this beautiful teaching and stayed on to share some meaningful discussion about meditation.
