Embracing Change: Finding Purpose

Sundays | 11:00am – 12:15pm | Gen Kelsang Chokyi & Guest Teachers

What gets you out of bed everyday? Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed? As we enter into the fall season, we can use it to reflect on the powerful view of impermanence. Instead of fighting change, we can be the change that we want to see at home, at work and in our communities. We can discover through Buddha’s timeless teachings that the purpose is to awaken our limitless potentials of love, compassion and wisdom. Come explore wisdom methods to embrace change and nurture your human purpose. 

August 31 - No class due to Midwest Away Retreat

You don't need to be Buddhist to benefit from these practical teachings. Each class includes a relaxing breathing meditation, a teaching, a contemplative meditation, and a closing dedication. Classes can be attended individually or as a series.

The Sunday morning meditation class is taught by Gen Kelsang Chokyi. This series is based on the book The New Eight Steps to Happiness by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
