8th - 9th November BUDDHIST SPRING FESTIVAL DISCOVER PATHS TO HAPPINESS AT THE BUDDHIST SPRING FESTIVAL November 8th & 9th. Buddhism teaches that happiness depends solely on the state of our mind, rather than the events and circumstances of our lives. Meditation opens practitioners up to the world of the mind and helps transform the way we approach the world so our lives are happier, healthier and more peaceful and satisfying. During the 18th Buddhist Spring Festival - hosted by the Tibetan Buddhist Society - on the weekend of November 8 and 9 Buddhist teachers will explain the benefits of meditation and offer insights from the rich traditions of Buddhist psychology. Talks from Tibetan, Thai, Zen and other Buddhist teachers will take place in one of the only traditional Tibetan temples in the Southern Hemisphere, which was blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama during his 2002 Australian tour.

The Tibetan Buddhist Society’s Peaceful Land of Joy Meditation Centre is 30 minutes from the Melbourne CBD, 1425 Mickleham Rd, Yuroke, Melways 385 J8 (Access from Cookes Rd). Telephone (03) 9333 1770 or visit www.tibetanbuddhistsociety.org
