Meditations on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment
with Sandra Lewis
In this three-week series of meditation classes, you can learn how to meditate on the stages of the path to enlightenment, known as ‘Lamrim’.
These traditional, time-tested, heartfelt meditations increase our love, compassion, inner resilience, and our wish to seize the essence of our precious human life.
The teachings and meditations in these classes are based on this year’s annual International Kadampa Buddhist Festival, where thousands of people gathered from around the world to receive inspiring teachings from the most senior teachers within the New Kadampa Tradition.
Everyone is welcome to attend the classes. Each class includes:
• An introduction to the class
• An initial settling meditation (15 minutes)
• A brief prayer to set a good motivation
• A teaching on Lamrim meditation
• A guided meditation (15–20 minutes)
• Time for discussion and Q&A
• Optional refreshments and snacks afterwards
Everyone Welcome!
