Calm as an Ocean: Meditations on Patience
Meditation classes for everyone with Buddhist monk, Gen Kelsang Tabkay
Wednesdays in Columbia, 6:30 – 7:45pm
At Kadampa Meditation Center South Carolina
When anger or frustration take hold, our mind feels tight, unsettled, and often hurtful—to ourselves and others. Buddha’s timeless teachings on patience reveal another way: we can respond to life’s challenges with clarity, strength, and an open heart.
Through guided meditations and practical instructions, this series will explore how patient acceptance brings freedom, how to let go of negative habits, and how to uncover the natural peace already within us.
Each class is self-contained, so you can join at any point in the series. Everyone is welcome; no prior experience necessary.
