How to be stress-free and stay happy

Buddha taught how to examine our mind and see which states produce misery and confusion, and which states produce health and happiness. On this course we will learn how to overcome the compulsively negative minds that confine us to states of discontent and misery, and how to cultivate positive minds that liberate us from pain and lead us to the experience of permanent inner peace.
