Wednesday Drop-in Class ~ Finding Strength In Uncertain Times

Finding Strength In Uncertain Times

Maintain Good Intentions in Daily Life

Wednesday Morning Drop-in classes

How can we stay positive in a world filled with uncertainty, turmoil, and constant change? In these meditation classes, we will learn Buddhist meditations that enable us to transform the challenges and pain we encounter - both around us and within us - into opportunities for personal growth and spiritual development. As a result, we will cultivate qualities such as compassion and wisdom, while building the inner resilience necessary to face life’s daily challenges with courage and clarity.

This morning’s theme is to learn to maintain a good intention in daily life. Since intention is the root of all our actions, keeping an intention not to follow inappropriate attention can really change our experience.

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 by 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.

Wednesday Drop-in Class ~ Finding Strength In Uncertain Times

Finding Strength In Uncertain Times

Choose to See Things in the Most Beneficial Way

Wednesday Morning Drop-in classes

How can we stay positive in a world filled with uncertainty, turmoil, and constant change? In these meditation classes, we will learn Buddhist meditations that enable us to transform the challenges and pain we encounter - both around us and within us - into opportunities for personal growth and spiritual development. As a result, we will cultivate qualities such as compassion and wisdom, while building the inner resilience necessary to face life’s daily challenges with courage and clarity.

This morning’s theme is to learn to choose to see things in the most beneficial way. Since defining characteristics don’t exist from the side of the object, this opens up a lot of freedom in how we relate to things.

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 by 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. You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, and no previous experience of meditation is required.

Everybody is welcome!

Wednesday Drop-in Class ~ Finding Strength In Uncertain Times

Finding Strength In Uncertain Times

Wednesday Morning Drop-in classes

How can we stay positive in a world filled with uncertainty, turmoil, and constant change? In these meditation classes, we will learn Buddhist meditations that enable us to transform the challenges and pain we encounter - both around us and within us - into opportunities for personal growth and spiritual development. As a result, we will cultivate qualities such as compassion and wisdom, while building the inner resilience necessary to face life’s daily challenges with courage and clarity.

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 by 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. You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, and no previous experience of meditation is required. Everybody is welcome!
