A Special Visit from Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab
Training the Mind for Real Happiness
A packed day course on “How to Control Your Mind” at KMC Nottingham
Kadampa Meditation Centre Nottingham was delighted to welcome Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab for a special day course, “How to Control Your Mind.”
It was wonderful to see a packed meditation room, with people coming together from Nottingham and the surrounding area to receive Gen-la’s clear, practical and inspiring teachings.
Throughout the day, Gen-la shared powerful advice on how, through understanding and training our mind, we can gradually free ourselves from the inner causes of our problems and develop the peaceful, positive states of mind that are the real source of happiness. There was a warm and joyful atmosphere all day, and many people commented on how relevant and encouraging the teachings were for their daily lives.
We are very grateful to Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab for visiting KMC Nottingham and sharing these precious teachings with us, and to everyone who came along and helped to make the day such a special occasion.
