A Blissful Journey: Developing Inner Peace

Happiness is a state of mind and is not dependent on external situations. This course teaches us how to identify deluded states of mind, such as anger and attachment, that cause unhappiness and problems. We also learn how to cultivate the positive minds, such as love and wisdom, that oppose these delusions, and enable us to respond skillfully and creatively to difficulties.
