Dalai Lama blesses course in UK

His Holiness The Dalai Lama has blesses a new course of evening classes taken across Britain, promising to make participants happier and the world a better place. Designed by the Action for Happiness, the eight week course claims to be scientifically proved to increase life satisfaction, mental well-being, compassion and social trust. The classes, called Entitled Exploring What Matters, will be free. Hundreds of people have already volunteered to host the course across the country.
Launching the course on World Peace Day, the Dalai Lama said he was delighted to see the “work being done to create a happier and more caring society.” He said, “I wholeheartedly support the Exploring What Matters course and hope that many thousands of people will benefit from it and be inspired to take their own action to help create a happier world.” During the course, groups explore a series of questions including “What really matters in life?”
