Transforming Difficulties into the Spiritual Path
Sundays 10:30 - 11:45am (and available for one week)
What is the ultimate, supreme goal of human life? We should ask ourself what we consider to be most important—what do we wish for, strive for or daydream about? Our wishes should be bigger than just ending the pandemic. Because even before the pandemic, we probably weren’t completely satisfied with our life.
Each of us has the potential for limitless inner peace and joy, and the ability to benefit others. These meditation classes can move us to become the best version of ourselves. We can let go of old, harmful habits, gain wisdom to see things clearly, and create a loving attitude toward all.

Freedom from Painful Emotions

Live Q&A Wednesdays 8:30pm - 9pm with Kelsang Jangchen (after watching the class, join us with your questions about the teaching)
In Buddhism, painful emotions are known as ‘delusions’. They are called this precisely because they are delusional ways of seeing the world and they distort our perceptions. Therefore, delusions such as anger, desirous attachment, and ignorance are completely unreliable states of mind, guaranteed to create unhappiness for ourself and others.
Buddha taught clear methods – based in meditation – for recognizing these delusions and transforming them into healthier, reality-based states of mind. By applying these methods and dismantling our painful states of mind we can remain peaceful and effective in even the most difficult situations. Could there be a more essential life skill?
Everyone is welcome.

The Peace of Concentration to Improve our Meditation and our Life
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.
