EVERYOME WELCOME
No experience required. Buddhist meditation is widely known for its ability to help people remove their inner causes of suffering. It is also about becoming happier and happier — discovering the deep peace, joy, and bliss we all have inside of us.
Join Janet Marriott from the Bodhichitta Kadampa Buddhist Centre for this series of classes that introduce the practice of meditation and its benefits in our daily life.
WHAT TO DO WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
NOV 9 – DEC 14
Transforming adverse conditions is vital in these difficult and challenging times. When things don’t work out the way we want them to our usual reaction is to become upset or disappointed. By reflecting deeply on Buddhist teachings we can learn to accept whatever happens with a calm and peaceful mind, and stay positive in any situation. Instead of allowing adversities to make us unhappy and discouraged we can use them to enhance our spiritual growth and thereby maintain a pure and peaceful mind.
WEEKLY TOPICS
- Recognizing Our Anger Response
- Learning to Practice Patience
- Controlling Our Desire
- Changing Our Perception
- Cultivating Pure Aspiration
- Compassion Purifies Our Mind
