This is the second of two series on the book Modern Buddhism: The Path of Compassion and Wisdom by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Students do not need to have attended the first series in order to enjoy this series.
This class series will use Buddha’s teachings on the Four Noble Truths to show how everyone can increase their patience, love, compassion, wisdom and happiness in daily life. Whether we find ourselves at home, at work, or somewhere else, we can practice “meditation on the go” and put our good intentions into practice.
During the first half of this six week course, Gen Nyema will explain how the Four Noble Truths encourage us to find real freedom from our problems by looking within our own hearts. During the second half, she will explain how to apply to apply the Six Perfections within the context of our hectic modern lives.

Discover a better way to deal with anger. In this summer meditation series based on Buddha’s time tested teachings, learn how we can respond to difficult people and challenging circumstances with a patient, relaxed, and “cool” mind.
Anger solves nothing. It is a destructive state of mind that constantly disturbs our inner peace, robs us of our good sense, and leads to unhappiness within our hearts and within our relationships.
During this series, students will come to recognize their own anger in its early stages of development and then learn to overcome the harmful mind of anger by generating the peaceful, positive mind of patient acceptance.
Everyone is welcome to attend, no previous experience required. Drop in for any class.
