Wednesday Drop-in Class ~Meditation & the Joy of Feeling Connected
Meditation & the Joy of Feeling Connected
with Kelsang Zopa
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:
July 15: Enhancing Connection
July 22: Empathy & Compassion
Aug 12: Loving Kindness Meditation

Wednesday Drop-in Class Finding Peace in Difficult Times
Finding Peace in Difficult Times
with Kelsang Zopa
Every day we face challenges in life—from small things like stubbing a toe or getting stuck in traffic, to larger difficulties such as conflict, disappointment, loss, or relationship challenges.
While we cannot always control what happens to us, we can learn to control how we respond and our inner experience of these situations.
In these classes, we will explore practical meditations and ways of thinking that help us remain peaceful and positive when we encounter difficulties in life. By responding to difficulties with wisdom and patience, we can transform challenges into opportunities for growth and inner development.
“When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind, they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development.”

Wednesday Drop-in Class ~ Meditation and Love, Desire & Attachment
Love, Desire & Attachment
4-week series with Kelsang Zopa
In these meditation classes, we will learn how to bring more harmony, joy, and peace into our relationships by understanding the difference between love, desire, and attachment. These different minds are often confused, and in close relationships we may mistakenly think that our love itself is the cause of the pain we experience.
Buddha taught that love can never cause us problems, but the “sticky” mind of attachment can. When we cling to others to fulfil our wishes, we become emotionally dependent, and like a balloon in the wind, we lose inner stability and mental freedom.
Through developing pure love, we can care for others without clinging and discover a stable source of happiness within our own mind.
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.

Wednesday Drop-in Class ~ Meditation and Love, Desire & Attachment
Love, Desire & Attachment
4-week series with Kelsang Zopa
In these meditation classes, we will learn how to bring more harmony, joy, and peace into our relationships by understanding the difference between love, desire, and attachment. These different minds are often confused, and in close relationships we may mistakenly think that our love itself is the cause of the pain we experience.
Buddha taught that love can never cause us problems, but the “sticky” mind of attachment can. When we cling to others to fulfil our wishes, we become emotionally dependent, and like a balloon in the wind, we lose inner stability and mental freedom.
Through developing pure love, we can care for others without clinging and discover a stable source of happiness within our own mind.
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!
Topics
Nov. 25 Are all desires bad? (No!)
Dec. 2: Why attachment hurts
Dec. 9: Why love brings true happiness
Dec. 16: Expanding our love for others

Wednesday Drop-in Class ~Meditation & the Joy of Feeling Connected
Meditation & the Joy of Feeling Connected
with Kelsang Zopa
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.

Wednesday Drop-in Meditation Class ~ Practical Buddhist Advice: A Meaningful Bucket List
Practical Buddhist Advice
~ A Meaningful Bucket List ~
The idea of a "bucket list," a list of things to do before you die, was popularized in the last 20 years or so and the phrase is linked to the idiom "kick the bucket" (meaning to die). The underlying idea of creating goals before death is timeless, but this specific phrase, popularized by a movie, gave it a catchy name, leading to global adoption.
It is an important question to answer for ourselves because as Geshe Kelsang Gyatso says in his book Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully*:
“We have immense freedom to accomplish almost anything we want. We can become a powerful politician, a successful businessman or woman, or a great scientist or artist. We can travel the world or even go to the moon, or we can settle for a simple family life. With so much freedom, we need to ask ourself what is the most meaningful way to use our life. What will make us truly happy? What will benefit others most? And when this life is over, what will help us then?”
In this series of classes we will explore what Buddhism has as answers to these most fundamental questions.
Bucket list #1: A loving mind
Objective: How to develop a loving mind for all living beings and why it makes us happy.
Bucket list #2: A mind of compassion

Wednesday Drop-in Meditation Class ~ Practical Buddhist Advice: A Meaningful Bucket List
Practical Buddhist Advice
~ A Meaningful Bucket List ~
The idea of a "bucket list," a list of things to do before you die, was popularized in the last 20 years or so and the phrase is linked to the idiom "kick the bucket" (meaning to die). The underlying idea of creating goals before death is timeless, but this specific phrase, popularized by a movie, gave it a catchy name, leading to global adoption.
It is an important question to answer for ourselves because as Geshe Kelsang Gyatso says in his book Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully*:
“We have immense freedom to accomplish almost anything we want. We can become a powerful politician, a successful businessman or woman, or a great scientist or artist. We can travel the world or even go to the moon, or we can settle for a simple family life. With so much freedom, we need to ask ourself what is the most meaningful way to use our life. What will make us truly happy? What will benefit others most? And when this life is over, what will help us then?”
In this series of classes we will explore what Buddhism has as answers to these most fundamental questions.
Bucket list #1: A loving mind
Objective: How to develop a loving mind for all living beings and why it makes us happy.
Bucket list #2: A mind of compassion
Objective: An introduction to the Buddha’s teachings on compassion and how to apply them in daily life.
Bucket list #3: A mind filled with patience
Objective: What is patience? In practice what does it mean?
Bucket list #4: A generous disposition

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!
