You Can Change: The Key to Personal Transformation

Everybody wants to change for the better. To be more happy, to have better relationships, to be more relaxed and confident, to be more successful in life. We want this, but we don’t know how to bring it about or even if it’s possible.

According to Buddha, it is possible, and there is a clear method to bring it about. In this public talk, Kadam Morten will explain how to begin your personal transformation, and he will guide a meditation in which we gain experience in this profound and wonderful process. Buddhist meditation can be used by anyone, regardless of spiritual (or non-spiritual) background.

Meditation allows us to gain insight into the nature of our mind and who we are, enabling us to recognize in our own experience that we are not stuck, that we can definitely change, and that the method to bring that about is actually easy. It just needs to be applied. Why not start today?
