Tuesday Drop-in Class ~Meditation & the Art of Feeling Connected

Meditation & the Art of Feeling Connected

This class taught by Sandra Lewis

Feeling joyful and connected to others is essential for our sense of wellbeing, inner peace, and happiness. However, even in a city like Toronto, surrounded by millions of people, a sense of connection can be elusive, leaving us feeling isolated even in an age of ‘connectivity’.

Connection is something we experience in the mind, and therefore it is a feeling that needs to be cultivated by the mind. In this meditation series, we will explore simple but powerful meditations that gently open the heart and create a genuine feeling of connection with others. We discover a natural warmth and openness from within, allowing us to enjoy life more fully and find greater meaning and purpose.

Each session includes two guided meditations and a practical talk on a weekly topic, followed by time for Q&A.

These classes are held in the peaceful, spacious, quiet and comfortable meditation room at Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada.  Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point. Each class will be followed by complimentary refreshments and the opportunity to ask questions. 

We also have many books and materials available at our Temple shop to help people deepen their learning and experience through further reading. 

No previous experience of meditation is required.  Everybody welcome!

Course topics:

June 23: Feeling Connected
June 30: Enhancing Connection 
July 7: Dealing with Difficult People
July 14: Empathy & Compassion
July 21: Loving Kindness Meditation
(Classes resumes after the Summer Festival in the UK)

Tuesday Drop-in Class ~ How to Help Those Who Have Died (Part Two)

How to Help Those Who Have Died
(Part Two)

The Buddhist practice of
transference of consciousness (powa)


Two-week course with Resident Teacher
Gen Kelsang Chodor

In this PART TWO of a short series of practice classes, we will explore the Buddhist understanding of what happens at the time of death and after death, and how we can actively help those who have recently died to take a fortunate rebirth.

In particular, we will focus on the practice of Powa, or transference of consciousness — a profound Buddhist meditation practice in connection with prayers to Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion. This practice is used to benefit those who have recently died, helping them to transition from this life to their next life with peace, clarity, and great good fortune.

These classes are based on the book Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. They are suitable for both new and experienced students who wish to deepen their understanding of death, rebirth, and how to help others after they have passed away.

Note: These practice classes also serve as a meaningful preparation for a special half-day course, “Essential Wisdom of Death and Dying,” with Buddhist monk Gen Rabgye on Saturday, March 28.

Buddhist Practices & Prayers to Overcome Obstacles

with Sandra Lewis

Turn life’s challenges into opportunities for growth and inner peace. In this five-week series, Gen Chodor will guide you through inspiring Buddhist practices designed to help overcome both inner and outer obstacles—whether it’s negative thoughts, discouragement, or painful emotions. By engaging in these practices, you can cultivate a mind that is clearer, calmer, and more resilient, opening the door to greater wisdom, compassion, and spiritual fulfillment.

Classes are held in the peaceful, spacious, quiet, and comfortable meditation room at Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada.

Each class in this series is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point. After each class, you are invited to join us in our community room for complimentary refreshments and the opportunity to ask questions. We also have many books and other meditation materials available at our Temple shop to help you deepen your understanding and meditation experience through further reading.

Everyone is welcome.
