Special Prayers for World Peace
Friday, May 23rd | 7PM – 8:30PM
This class includes guided meditations, a teaching, and chanted prayers for world peace.
We can all do something to contribute to world peace! In this class, we are creating world peace in two main ways. We are making prayers together for world peace, and we are also creating inner peace. Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. When we create peace within our own mind, it ripples out to create peace in our world.
We will explore how building peace within our mind we can better help others during difficult times. When we experience difficulties we are more equipped to transform the difficulty into a meaningful experience, so that despite the pain we experience it becomes a source of spiritual growth.
Suggested Donation $5.

A LIFE BEYOND FEAR
A REGIONAL EVENT IN NEW YORK CITY
In times as stressful and uncertain as the ones we seem to be experiencing more and more often, we may ask, is a life beyond fear even possible?
In truth, fear arises from our mind, not from our environment. The fear and the anxiety that so many experience is not inevitable. If we come to recognize their underlying sources, we can learn to change our relationship to them.
Through the practice of meditation, we can learn to work skillfully with our fear. Instead of allowing it to overwhelm us, we learn to redirect it, so that it moves us towards developing those states of mind that naturally give rise to peace, confidence and a strong sense of purpose.
