Meditation & Being Patient With Our Progress
with Kelsang Zopa
We need to be aware that our progress, in fully understanding and using Buddha's teachings in our daily life, can take time. With Buddha's wisdom teachings we can learn to accept the rhythm of our progress.
Whether you are new to meditation or have some experience, you are warmly invited to join us. Meditations are practised seated on chairs or on cushions, your choice. Each class includes two guided meditations and a practical talk on a weekly topic, followed by time for Q&A. Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point.
Classes are held in the peaceful, spacious, and comfortable meditation room at Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada. After class there will be complimentary refreshments and the opportunity to chat.
We also have many books and materials available at our Temple shop to help people deepen their learning and experience.
No previous experience of meditation is required. Everybody welcome!
