______________________________________________________________

Many people have material success and wealth and resources to enjoy the external beauty of North Carolina, but still experience unhappiness, dissatisfaction, anger, relationship dificulties, and the disapointment in not finding a happiness that lasts.

Water Lily

Because happiness is a state of mind it cannot be found outside the mind. Through meditation and training the mind to cultivate real happiness and abandon the causes of unhappiness we can definitely find the lasting peace we long for, and we can give this precious gift to others.

At Kosala Buddhist Center in the Triangle you can find meditation instruction; teachings on Buddhist view; study programs for different levels of experience; opportunities for Buddhist practice with chanted meditations; and other devotional activities. If you are new to meditation or study of Buddhist view then visit the getting started page.
