"Compassion and a Successful Life"
Public Talk, Thursday 9th Feb 7pm

Caught-up as we normally are in the busyness of our everyday lives and over the course of dealing with all the many practical necessities that confront us each day, it’s easy to lose sight of a very simple yet fundamental fact about ourselves: we all want to be happy; we all, whether we’ve thought about it or not, want a successful life. In this public talk, Jampa will explore what constitutes a successful life and the role that love and compassion play in bringing it about.

Cost: $20 waged, $18 concession, $15 member
