Center Cherishing
2026-03-14 11:00 - 13:00 | Kadampa Meditation Center Florida, 730 N Washington Blvd, Sarasota, FL, 34236, United States
All Kadampa centers are dedicated to all living beings. They belong to them, remaining in their service for all time, and can never be taken over by individuals or organizations and used for other purposes.
For this reason, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche says that these centers are very precious and that whenever we engage in an action to benefit a center we are in fact benefitting all living beings. Through such actions we accumulate vast merit, purify negativities and receive powerful blessings.
This event is a special opportunity for people to come together and cherish our center and in this way benefit our local community practically. Snacks will be provided. Everyone welcome!

The Power of a Positive Vision
2026-03-14 17:00 - 18:15 | Yoga Barre LWR, 4124 Lakewood Ranch Blvd, Bradenton, Fl, 34211, United States
In a world increasingly shaped by fear, conflict, and pessimistic predictions about the future, the Buddha offered a radically hopeful teaching: the mind is the architect of reality.
In this meditation class, we will explore the Buddhist practice of taking and giving (tonglen), as taught by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso — a profound yet simple imaginative meditation that anyone can do. Rather than imagining disastrous outcomes for ourselves and the world, this class emphasizes the importance of cultivating a clear vision
This class is suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike.
This event will be held at Yoga Barre in Lakewood Ranch
