12-1pm Meditation: Learning to Be Happy

April 2, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Path on the beach

Create a peaceful and calm mind and your experience of the world will change for the better. Through exploring Kadam Lamrim meditations (or stages of the path to enlightenment), we can learn how to make ourself and others happy by applying practical methods that help us:

  • Find openness and stillness within
  • Fill our life with joy
  • Solve our daily problems
  • Accomplish our highest goals

As Geshe Kelsang says in The New Meditation Handbook:

“Lamrim instructions are not given just for the sake of intellectual understanding of the path to enlightenment. They are given to help us gain deep experience, and should therefore be put into practice. If we train our mind in these meditations every day, eventually we will gain perfect realizations of all the stages of the path. Until we have reached this stage, we should not get tired of listening to oral teachings on Lamrim or reading authentic Lamrim commentaries, and then contemplating and meditating on these instructions. We need to continually expand our understanding of these essential topics and use this new understanding to enhance our regular meditation.”

Everyone is welcome. No previous meditation experience is required.
