Make it stand out
Thursday Evenings
7:00–8:30pm
$15/session, free for members
All our drop in classes include essential instructions on how to meditate that make them accessible and valuable to everyone – including those who are coming to their very first meditation class. Each class also includes additional instructions on how to engage in various practical meditations of Kadampa Buddhism both in formal meditation and throughout the day. We learn how to carry the meaning of our meditations with us through the day so that their profound meanings gradually penetrate all aspects of our life, bringing great benefit both to ourselves and others – ultimately to the world. Following these instructions has a magical impact on our lives for the better. In this way, these classes also have great value for even the most advanced meditators. There is something for everyone and everyone is welcome.
Our classes are run entirely by volunteers who are giving their time and energy to help make these teachings and meditations available to everyone. We hope that everyone who comes can see how they really work to make a better world for everyone. If you’re inspired by what you experience here, don’t just come to our classes! Become one of our volunteers and experience the joy of helping others and the world in this magical way!
