The Peace of Concentration
Wednesdays 7 - 8:15pm (and available for one week)
Live Q&A Wednesdays 8:30pm - 9pm with Kelsang Jangchen (after watching the class, join us with your questions about the teaching)
A person with good concentration has control over their mind, like a well-trained horse that obeys its rider, and they finds it easier to cultivate the positive qualities of mind we need to become a happier person.
Through improving our practice of meditation our distracting and unpeaceful thoughts subside and our mind becomes calm and smooth. Meditative stillness helps to make our body and mind comfortable and flexible and is essential if we wish to remain at peace in daily life.
In this course, Kelsang Jangchen will explain how we can develop the peace of meditative stillness and concentration.
Everyone is welcome.

Medicine Guru is a Buddha Doctor whose function is to release living beings from outer and inner sickness by bestowing blessings upon them.
Buddha once said "In the future, if living beings rely on the Medicine Buddhas, they will be cured of otherwise incurable physical disease and mental pain, as well as all other outer and inner diseases."
Buddha also explained the methods for receiving blessings from these Buddhas, the benefits of relying on them, how to accomplish a special power of body, speech and mind through the practice of the Medicine Buddhas, and how to use this special power to benefit others through healing actions.

All living beings have the same basic wish to be happy and avoid suffering, but very few people understand the real causes of happiness and suffering. If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness.
