This series is an introductory level program for everyone that shows
you how to develop peace within your own mind and how to give that
peace to others. It explains clearly how you can develop a calm,
flexible and peaceful mind and how you can maintain this even under
the most difficult circumstances.
You don't have to be a Buddhist or have the intention to become
a Buddhist to benefit, and you can attend all or just some of the
classes.
The classes explain fundamental Buddhist philosophy and psychology,
and show how through meditation and mindfulness in daily life, Buddha's
teachings can bring lasting benefit and peace to anyone. They provide
answers to the most fundamental questions about the nature of your
human life. Each class includes instruction on meditation, teaching
and discussion.
The series will show how to follow the complete path to awakening.
It moves from an historical account of the Life of Buddha Shakyamuni
through an explanation of the nature and function of mind, and shows
you how to make progress towards cultivating the highest authentic
and spontaneous minds of compassion and wisdom, the true sources
of lasting happiness and peace.
Classes are given by the
Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Tilopa.
The
donation for each class is $8, or $40 for 6 classes.
