The Path to the Extraordinary: Wisdom

Thursdays, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
February 18, 25, March 4, 11

Buddha revealed that there is an extraordinary dimension to our life, which he called emptiness, or ultimate truth. In this series we shall see how incorporating this understanding into our daily lives will revolutionize our perspective and enable us to see the extraordinary in all things. These teachings on the enlightened perspective, known as the union of the two truths, allow us to recognize deeply the possibility of transformation in ourselves, others and our world. We also learn to respond to difficulties peacefully and practically.
$10 per class ($5 for students) ~ free for supporters.

Developing Joy

Mondays at 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29

Joy is our greatest resource and it is the greatest kindness we can extend to others. Buddha's teachings give us a swift and direct method to help us to attain the happiness that we all long for, and the peace and clarity that is our actual nature. In these classes, based on the special arrangement of meditations known as Lamrim, we will learn to connect to our potential for inner peace, love and freedom, and begin our journey to a happiness we hardly knew existed. We begin to experience our life as a joyful path to enlightenment. $10 per class ($5 for students) ~ free for supporters.

A Daily Practice How to cultivate a meditation habit Saturday, March 13, 9:30 am – 1:00 pm

Through training in the meditation practices taught by Buddha we can develop a peaceful, positive, and joyful mind, a relaxed body, and a flexible, optimistic and compassionate outlook on life. Through learning to meditate correctly we train our mind in letting go of present unhappiness and past hurts and in maintaining a peaceful and happy heart. Gradually we come to appreciate the beauty and potential in each moment of our life. In this class we will explain the practice of meditation and learn simple, but profound meditations that we can easily integrate into our daily life.
