Choosing Joy: Wisdom for Daily Life
Sundays | 11:00am – 12:15pm

We are usually waiting for joyful moments in life rather than harnessing the power of our minds to create joy. Ultimately, whether we are happy or not is our choice. Using the timeless methods from Buddha’s teachings on the six perfections gives us powerful tools to choose joy.

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 Kathy Ryan and John Hammond this summer. Gen Chokyi will be returning to teach on August 16. This series is based on the book The Bodhisattva Vow by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
