The Science of Happiness

Cost: $10 (free for KMC NM members)

Held at Corbett Center, New Mexico State University (Las Cruces) | Dona Ana room

Buddhist meditation is an inner science, and it is geared towards fulfilling our deepest wish, which is our wish for happiness. Although material science has brought about astounding external developments, it has never produced true, lasting happiness. This is because happiness is a state of mind and so its causes lie in the mind.
Through the inner science of meditation, Buddha discovered these actual causes of happiness.Through applying the practice of meditation in our life we verify Buddha’s insights directly in our own experience. We become the inner scientist, and in the process learn how to skillfully let go of those states of mind that give rise to our unhappiness, and to nurture those inner states of peace, kindness, wisdom and love that give rise to feelings of authentic happiness.

Everyone is welcome to this informational talk with guided meditation.
