Essential Life Advice
from a 90-Year-Old Kadampa Nun
Special Tuesday Drop-in class with Kelsang Lochani
Join us for a rare and heart-opening evening with Kelsang Lochani, an ordained Kadampa Buddhist nun, who will be turning 90 on this day.
In this special talk, she’ll share three practical and meaningful pieces of life advice, drawn from her own experiences, on love, relationships, and finding deeper meaning in life. With nearly a century of life behind her, Kelsang Lochani’s insights will be truly special, powerful, and something we can all learn from.
After the class, we’ll have an enjoyable celebration to mark her 90th birthday, with cake, snacks, and tea—so feel free to join us for both!
Everyone is welcome!

Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point.
Our classes begin with a brief introduction, followed by an initial guided meditation to settle the mind and create a feeling of inner peace. This is followed by a talk on an aspect of meditation practice related to the series topic, and concludes with a guided meditation related to the talk.
After each class, we invite you to join us in our community room for complimentary refreshments and an opportunity to ask questions.
You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, and no previous experience with meditation is required.
Everybody is welcome!
