"I am convinced there is no way to peace. Peace is the way."

                                                                                                                                                                                         — A. J. Muste

Let's get real.
We all want peace and happiness.
But it's getting pretty wild out there in the world.

How can we be happy in such a chaotic world?
Or better yet, how can we contribute to a happy world?

First: Identify the difficulties in your life and the world

Second: understand these difficulties come

from the way we think

We believe challenges "out there” are the reason we don't feel peace "in here." In truth, these challenges are the outcomes of our actions, collectively and individually. External circumstances are not the cause of our unhappiness.The states of our mind are CAUSING the state of the world.
‍In the Vajrayana Buddhist path these 5

5 Elements/ 5 Emotions

Third: GET TO KNOW HAPPINESS

Wisdom & Compassion

Are the most essential elements for peace in ourselves, peace between communities,
and a flourishing environment. 

You can contribute to meaningful change in the world through working with your mind. Through contemplation and meditation, these 5 emotional states can be transformed into the 5 wisdoms. Uncovering your innate potential allows you to be in service to benefit the world in your own unique way.

We know the journey to understanding and training the mind can be daunting to pursue alone and identifying qualified teachers is not easy. 

Here you have the opportunity to connect with Tibetan masters committed to
guiding you to train your mind and open your heart.
