Take Control of Your Mind
Anyone can learn to meditate, really. We’re usually just so busy and distracted that it can be hard to believe. But it is possible to gradually improve our ability to quiet and calm our mind through practicing in meditation. It’s just a new skill!
Experience for yourself the many benefits of regular meditation:
- Less stress and anxiety
- Better Sleep
- Improved focus and concentration
- Greater productivity
- More positive feeling
- Happier relationships
By gently and patiently practicing, we can learn to let go of unhelpful tendencies to feel stressed or overwhelmed. We can take control of our thoughts and feelings to become more relaxed and focused. In this way, we begin to extract so much more enjoyment, depth, and meaning from our lives.
Each class includes a teaching and guided meditation. No experience is needed and you don’t need to be a Buddhist. Everyone is welcome!
How to Build a Daily Practice: Heart Jewel Workshop | Saturday April 19th 3:30PM-5PM
The essential practice of Kadampa Buddhism is a daily practice of Heart Jewel Prayers with Lamrim meditation. This is the defining characteristic of a Kadampa Buddhist.
Heart Jewel is a chanted meditation that is a method for receiving attainments through the practice of the Guru Yoga of Je Tsongkhapa. It also contains prayers to our Dharma Protector, the wisdom Buddha Dorje Shugden, who protects our tradition and removes obstacles from our own spiritual practice. In this Saturday workshop, we will learn how to use these chanted prayers as a guided meditation that connects us with our Spiritual Guide and deepens our understanding of the Lamrim (stages of the path) meditations.
