"Happiness is a Choice" - A free public talk and meditation on New Year's Day 2023 in Sullivan County Catskills Upstate NY. With the start of each year, we usually take the time to make changes in our life for the better. The key to a happy and a meaningful life is understanding what exactly is happiness. Buddhist Monk Gen Samten Kelsang will talk about how to take personal responsibility for our own happiness and use this as a pillar to which we anchor our year. Everyone is welcome and no experience is needed. We sit in chairs.
