Meditations to Calm the Mind
Sundays | 11:00am – 12:15pm | Gen Kelsang Chokyi
Join Gen Chokyi to explore how to calm your mind. In a world of so much suffering, pain and conflict discover how to seek and find calm through cultivating minds of loving kindness and compassion.
“Happiness is a part of the mind that experiences inner peace, or peace of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions. If our mind is pure and peaceful we will be happy, regardless of our external circumstances, but if it is impure and unpeaceful we will never be happy, no matter how hard we try to change our external conditions. - Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Mar 1 - Seeking & Finding Calm: Inside.

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.
