Whenever we have a sincere intention to truly benefit others and with this motivation then follow through with an action to try to accomplish this wish, we accumulate positive karma. This karma then manifests as personal good fortune and happiness. Our struggle to fulfill our wishes and achieve lasting happiness, is due to a lack of positive karma, also known as merit. Without accumulating abundant merit, our worldly and spiritual wishes will never be achieved. This is because no cause to produce such a result has been created. Learn how to create vast merit easily and thereby insure your own great good fortune.

If we wish to progress on the spiritual path, necessarily we must and will receive blessings from enlightened beings. Such blessings enhance the power and scope of our virtuous abilities and practices. They also enable improved control over our distracted and unruly mind. The frequency and power of these blessings depends upon our applying effort to improve our mind and developing special wisdom and faith. This course will explore the wisdom and faith that we need to employ. In this way, we will be able to progress swiftly and fulfill all of our virtuous wishes.

In June of 2003, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche named and formally established Samudra Kadampa Buddhist Centre. One of the catalysts for this was that earlier in the year a commercial space was rented and the Centre began functioning like an independent NKT Dharma Centre. As a result, Samudra Centre has established a continuous presence in Hamilton ever since, and many people have been able to benefit from Buddha’s sublime teachings that reveal the path to everlasting happiness.
