“Becoming a Connoisseur of Happiness”

 

Please come join us for a Special collection of Teachings by Dr. Dean Nelson, founder of the Kailua Shambhala Meditation Center.

 

We will be dedicating the Sundays in May and the first Sunday in June to becoming “connoisseurs of happiness” through mindfulness practice, instruction talks, discussions and exercises.  You do not need to attend all and may drop in at any time.

 

Dr. Nelson shares: “Virtually everything we do in a day is motivated by a desire to be happy. As sad and bizarre as it may seem, someone can gun down children thinking it will bring happiness. Frequently, we make choices that provide only at best brief satisfaction or questionable happiness.  As the song says “we are looking for love in all the wrong places.” I hope these classes give a fresh and lasting criteria, sustainable happiness, about what makes us happy, how to be a connoisseur of happiness, not going for simply highs with bad hangovers”.
