Meditation and Fearless Living: A Talk at Llanover Hall by Gelong Thubten

Thubten will explain the topic of cultivating inner happiness and compassion through meditation practice. Life in the modern world has become increasingly busy and pressurised, with the constant search for happiness from material things now more intense than ever.

 Thubten will explain how meditation and mindfulness help us to handle life’s challenges with greater resilience. Through meditation we can transform our thoughts, emotions and reactions, and difficult situations can make us stronger. 

Topics will include exploring the nature of fear and anxiety, and how to become more fearless. We will look at how to establish a daily meditation practice, how to work with pain and suffering, the development of compassion and how to cultivate the skill of forgiveness.

 The talk will be followed by a book signing in the cafe at Llanover Hall where you will be able to purchase hot drinks. 

The book 'Handbook for Hard Times' can be purchased in our centre's cafe at £17.99 per hard cover book. We will also have Thubten's book: A Monk's Guide to Happiness on sale. Softcover is £6 and Hard Cover (now out of print) £17.99.

Myfyrdod a byw yn ddi-ofn

Yn seiliedig ar lyfr poblogaidd diweddaraf Gelong Thubten “Handbook for Hard Times - arweiniad mynach I fyw ddi-ofn”.

Bydd Thubten yn esbonio sut mae  myfyrdod a meddwlgarwch helpa ni i ymdopi a heriau bywyd gyda mwy o wydnwch. Trwy myfyrdod gallwn drawsnewid ein meddyliau,ein hemosiynau a’n hymatebion, a gall sefyllfaoedd anodd ein gwneud yn gryfach.

Bydd y punciau cynnwys archwilio natur ofn a phryder a sut I ddod yn mwy di-ofn. Byddwn yn edrych ar sut I sefydlu ymarfer myfyrdod dyddiol. Sut I weithio gyda phoen a dioddefaint, datblygiad tosteri a pha fodd I feithrin y sgil o faddeuant.

Bydd y sgwrs yn cael ei dilyn gan arwyddo llyfr (bydd llyfrau ar werth yn y cyntedd)
