Our buns are made fresh daily at Aryzta’s dedicated bun bakery on Auckland’s North Shore.

We have high standards and our bakers do too, which is why there are multiple quality checks in place at the bakery and only the best looking buns make the cut.

We use less than a teaspoon of sugar in each of the buns which gives them the colour and texture that makes them perfect for burgers.

When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations we tend to regard the situation itself as the problem. But if we learn to maintain a peaceful mind, we can be happy all the time regardless of our circumstances.

On this workshop we will learn Buddhist techniques to help us respond to difficulties with a positive mind. In this way, we will be able to accept painful feelings, overcome minds such as anger and frustration, and discover true inner peace.

Shechog has spent many years developing Kadampa Meditation Centres where she has inspired many people through her kindness and loving example. Shechog is much loved for her gentle manner, inner strength and clear, skillful teachings.

Cost & Booking
$40 (unwaged $30) | Free for Centre members
