The Root Of Our Unhappiness – Fri, 17 Jul, 7.30-9.30pm

The Five Desires : The Root Of Our Unhappiness

Humans are driven by many desires, but there are five that we are especially driven by.

While all of the five desires shape our behaviours, we may be especially attached to one or two.

It is important to identify which is our “favourite” desire, so we can eventually be freed from the root causes of our unhappiness.

In this session, I will share about the Five Desires and support you to identify your “favourite” desire.

Looking forward to your presence.
