Offizielle Eröffnung des Kadampa Meditationszentrums Köln - Den Weg des Mitgefühls gehen

In the organizer's words:

Walking the path of compassion

Public lecture with Gen Ananda

Compassion is an incredible source of strength: it is a mind that does not bear the suffering of others without depressing us. Instead, compassion provides great power to help others and also to generate deep inner peace within ourselves. When our mind is governed by compassion, it always remains peaceful and happy - regardless of external circumstances. For Buddhists, the true meaning of life therefore lies in developing compassion and helping those in need. If we succeed in doing this, we feel that we have found a rare and precious treasure whenever we meet someone. The Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Ananda explains how to develop compassion in the public lecture "Walking the path of compassion". Afterwards, there will be the opportunity for a cozy exchange. Everyone is welcome!

The public talk is based on explanations in the book Eight Steps to Happiness - New Edition by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
