🌈How to Free yourself from your Self & be Happy

🌈How to Free yourself from your Self & be Happy
Metta Centre collaboration with the Association of Engaged Buddhists
Presenter: David O’Rose & Tina Ng
Thursdays 9, 16, 23 Sept 2021, 7.30pm-9pm
Via Zoom
Cost: By Donation

Everybody wants to experience happiness and everything that we do is for the purpose of finding happiness in our life. However, not everybody knows that happiness is the very nature of our self and lies in potential within us, accessible by all people and at all times. Unhappiness and suffering arises when our minds are obscure by the layers of thoughts and emotions that sometimes create the resistance to access our inherent nature of happiness. In other words, we often stand in the way of our own freedom & happiness.

In this 3-week interactive course, David O’Rose and Tina Ng will facilitate participants into exploring the 3 simple factors that are holding you back from achieving a fulfilling & joyful life & discovering your own powerful being that is the source of the lasting peace & happiness that you are longing for. There will be plenty of opportunities for discussions, questions, sharing and healing.

9 Sept : Free yourself of limiting beliefs

16 Sept : Free yourself from suffering

23 Sept : Free yourself from the past

About the Presenters:
David O’Rose is an experienced leader of meditation groups, both in Sydney and Hong Kong. His approach is utterly simple, where the living experience of a meditative approach to everyday life is the aim of practice.

Tina Ng is the Founder and President of the Metta Centre and also the Principal Solicitor of Metta Legal, a law firm that deals with cases relating to family law, child protection, property, wills & estates, civil litigation and guardianship matters. She is an accredited mediator at Metta Resolution, which provides mediation, training and coaching to resolve conflict in the community and within families.

To celebrate and give some context around the Mettarama Vision Day on 21 August, we invite you to participate in this two-talk series on the bhikkhuni revival. What are bhikkhunis, and why was the bhikkhuni revival such an important event for Buddhism globally? Ayya Suvira will present key concepts and milestones in the Theravada bhikkhuni revival. We are also privileged to have a guest presentation by Ayya Dhammananda of Thailand, on her experiences of reviving the bhikkhuni order in Thailand and the history of Thai bhikkhunis. There will be a chance to ask questions after the talks.

Yesterday in our Emotional Triggers course we disc

Yesterday in our Emotional Triggers course we discussed the process of how we get triggered, our reactions and how to start to change our habitual tendencies in reacting to these triggers. We discussed Dependent Origination as a way to understand how we are thrown from one moment to the next, and one lifetime to the next.
