SUMMARY:Breaking Bad Habits
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever thought about where our habits come from? If we look at how habits develop and how we stay trapped following them\, then we can free ourselves from their influence. Our unpeaceful states of mind that cause us to suffer and perform harmful actions are just bad mental habits\, and like all habits they can be broken. Through understanding our mind in this way we can finally bring it under control and find mental peace\, freedom\, and confidence. \nBuddha’s teachings can help us free ourselves from bad habits. This class will be very practical and helpful for creating change in our lives. Everyone can apply these simple and practical teachings and learn how to let go of their bad habits

SUMMARY:Meditations for a Meaningful Life
DESCRIPTION:The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment\, or “Lamrim”\, is a sophisticated\, practical presentation of Buddhist teachings\, which is designed to help us improve and grow in a deliberate and joyful way. Over 1000 years ago the Buddhist sage Atisha consolidated the 84\,000 teachings of Buddha into the Lamrim\, which  are 21 essential meditations\, revolutionizing the practice of Buddha’s teachings. Since then\, Lamrim has flourished throughout the world and it perfectly fits within our modern lifestyle. It is simple\, scientific\, and incredibly potent. \nThe Lamrim takes us step-by-step through carefully crafted meditations so we can purposefully nourish the qualities in our mind that lead to our happiness and reduce our painful thoughts and feelings. \nIn this class\, we will go one-by-one through the Lamrim\, drawing out how we can personally use these meditations and create our own meditation practice. There will be a special emphasis on the art of meditation and how to really make our meditations effective. \nJoin us afterwards for lunch in our World Peace Cafe! Lunch is available for purchase at check in and will be served after the class.

SUMMARY:Letting Go of Expectations
DESCRIPTION:Whatever our holiday tradition\, most of our stress and disappointment is coming from unrealistic expectations of ourself and others. In this short Sunday series we will explore how to let go of “expectations” through understanding where they come from and how they sabotage our holiday joy. Buddha taught many methods to transform our unhealthy habits in relationships into healing and harmony. Wouldn’t this be a wonderful way to celebrate the season this year? \n  \nChildren Welcome! Check out our ongoing kids class offered concurrently with this Sunday class. Meditation for Kids (for children ages 4 – 12)

SUMMARY:Meditations for a Meaningful Life
DESCRIPTION:The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment\, or “Lamrim”\, is a sophisticated\, practical presentation of Buddhist teachings\, which is designed to help us improve and grow in a deliberate and joyful way. Over 1000 years ago the Buddhist sage Atisha consolidated the 84\,000 teachings of Buddha into the Lamrim\, which  are 21 essential meditations\, revolutionizing the practice of Buddha’s teachings. Since then\, Lamrim has flourished throughout the world and it perfectly fits within our modern lifestyle. It is simple\, scientific\, and incredibly potent. \nThe Lamrim takes us step-by-step through carefully crafted meditations so we can purposefully nourish the qualities in our mind that lead to our happiness and reduce our painful thoughts and feelings. \nIn this class\, we will go one-by-one through the Lamrim\, drawing out how we can personally use these meditations and create our own meditation practice. There will be a special emphasis on the art of meditation and how to really make our meditations effective. \nJoin us afterwards for lunch in our World Peace Cafe! Lunch is available for purchase at check in and will be served after the class.
