Here One Moment: with Christine Chase, Sunday 10:00-11:00am
Everything we rely on changes. People, situations, even our thoughts, shift in an instant. That can either be unsettling, or it can be a wake up call. Explore how the truth of impermanence can become the foundation for a joyful, deeply meaningful life. We will follow the Lamrim, or “Stages of the Path to Enlightenment,” a practical sequence of meditations from The New Meditation Handbook by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Each week we focus on one step along this path, using clear explanations and guided meditations to connect the teachings to daily life. While we follow this path, each class is a self-contained teaching and practice.

Strong Heart, Peaceful Mind: Ilene Hecht, Tuesday 6:00-7:00pm

Teachings and guided meditations drawn from Buddha’s wisdom will help us turn our daily life into the path of love.

Fall into Inner Peace: with Tom McGuire, Saturday 10:00-11:00am

In our fast-paced, complex and increasingly dangerous world, we can feel overwhelmed by our own suffering and all the terrible suffering we see, hear, and read about across the world. However, Buddha teaches us that if we train in compassion—a mind that sincerely wishes to liberate all living beings from suffering permanently—our own mind remains uplifted, even as our hearts break for others' pain. Thus we are empowered to gradually free ourselves and others from problems and suffering. To accomplish this, we train in cultivating a pure mind, even amidst all the challenges of modern life, transforming our response to difficult situations.  Through training in this way we discover a deep, lasting inner peace filled with compassion.
