Finding Happiness Within
Kadampa Meditation Center Italy houses a serene meditation room and bookstore filled with books, tapes, CDs, statues and sadhanas (chanted prayer books) to help start or enhance your meditation practice. Intended as a place of refuge, you can leave behind the stress and anxiety of daily life to find peace, clarity, and happiness at KMC Italy.
Many opportunities to learn how to meditate are available. These include weekly meditation classes, in-depth study programs, extensive retreats, daily pujas (chanted prayers), and special courses. The spiritual programs offer something of interest to all levels of experience. All are welcome!
Happiness and suffering are states of mind, and so their main causes cannot be found outside the mind. The real source of happiness is inner peace. If our mind is peaceful, we shall be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions, but if it is disturbed or troubled in any way, we shall never be happy, no matter how good our external conditions may be. External conditions can only make us happy if our mind is peaceful.
