Ever feel like you’re chasing happiness in all the wrong places? 🏃💨

We spend so much time trying to control our external world—our jobs, our houses, our schedules—but we still face stress and unhappiness. Why? Because happiness and suffering are actually states of mind. 🧘✨

Join us this Thursday at the Akshobya Kadampa Buddhist Centre for our series, Understanding the Mind. This week, we’re diving into a fascinating topic: How our feelings and intentions are related to karma.

When: Thursday, May 14 | 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Where: 2120 Kensington Road NW, Calgary
Cost: $15 (Drop-ins welcome!)
Stop looking outside for answers. Start looking within. See you there!
