About this event

    Understanding the Mind

    Wednesdays with Gen Kelsang Rabka

    (in-person only)

    11am – 12.15pm: Aug 20, 27, Sep 3 & 10

    "Happiness and suffering are feelings – parts of our mind – and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind. If we really want to be truly happy and free from suffering we must improve our understanding of the mind."

    - Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

    We often say, "My mind, my mind," but if someone were to ask us, "What is your mind?" we would likely find it quite difficult to answer. Since happiness and suffering are states of mind, if we are to find the happiness we seek, an understanding of our mind is essential.

    During this series of classes we will explore Buddhist insights into the nature, function and power of the mind, and gain practical meditative experience on the conventional nature of the mind. As we learn to navigate the intricacies of our mind, we'll gain the tools to foster lasting peace and happiness amidst life's turbulence.

    Topics covered will include:

    • What is the mind?
    • How to meditate on the mind itself, and the insights this brings
    • How the way things appear to us depends upon our mind
    • How changing our own mental attitude changes whether a situation is good or bad
    • How to cultivate new, positive ways of looking at our world

    You are welcome to join this series any week regardless of experience. Everybody is welcome!

    BOOK THE WHOLE 4-CLASS SERIES AT THE SPECIAL RATE OF $57 (20% off) or per class at the standard rate of $18 per person.

    Frequently asked questions

    I can't sit on a cushion, is it OK to sit in a chair?

    It's completely possible to engage in qualified meditation while sitting in a chair. We provide both chairs and cushions in our meditation classes, so you can choose depending upon your preference :)

    I'm completely new to meditation, is it possible for me to attend your classes?

    Absolutely! We always make our classes accessible to everybody, and everybody is welcome to attend regardless of experience and personal beliefs.

    Is it possible to just attend 1 week of this series?

    Yes. Whilst there is benefit in attending all of the classes in a series to get the most out of the topic being explored, each class is self-contained. (Please note however that our new live-streaming option is only available for those wishing to attend the full series.)

    What is your refund policy?

    If you book but are unable to attend a class please get in touch and we'll be happy to either transfer your booking to another series, or fully refund your booking fee (less the non-refundable Eventbrite fee)

    Why do you charge for your classes?

    KMC Singapore isn't supported by benefactor donations and we receive no government assistance to cover our costs. Because of this we ask for a small fee to cover our running costs such as rent. If you are having financial difficulties please get in touch as we can help.
