Morning Beginner Meditation Class
Learn the basics and lay the foundation for an effective and joyful meditation practice. Discover how meditation can help us de-stress, solve our problems, and make our lives more satisfying.
The Lamrim instructions are easy to understand and practice, and provide us with a thorough and systematic experience of all the Buddha’s instructions that we can readily apply to solving the problems of daily life. Lamrim means “the stages of the path to enlightenment.” It is a special set of instructions that is the synthesis of all of Buddha Shakyamuni’s 84,000 teachings. With a deep experience of Lamrim, there will be no basis for these problems. Eventually, we shall attain freedom from all suffering, and the unchanging peace and happiness of enlightenment.
Current Topic: Learn to Meditate
The purpose of meditation is to create calm and peaceful experiences of mind. With a peaceful mind, we are free from anxiety and mental discomfort, enjoying instead a deep experience of relaxation with increased powers of concentration. As our mind becomes more balanced, our relationships become more stable and fulfilling, our energy increases, and our overall health improves. During this series of classes, based on the timeless wisdom of Buddha’s teachings, you will be taught and guided through the process of developing a daily meditation practice.
