SUMMARY:Living Meaningfully\, Dying Joyfully
DESCRIPTION:This is the simplest\, most obvious truth of our existence\, yet very few have really come to terms with this fact. In this series\, we will learn how to make the most of our human life (living meaningfully)\, to prepare for death (dying joyfully)\, and how to help others who are dying. In this way\, instead of something to be feared or denied\, death can become a positive and life-enhancing experience. \nThe series is based on the book Living Meaningfully\, Dying Joyfully\, by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.  \nThe teacher\, Gen Kelsang Gomlam\, worked as a nurse in Intensive Care and Hospice before she met the New Kadampa Tradition. Her previous practical experiences together with the powerful teachings of Buddha create a light-hearted environment to explore the most important knowledge we can develop — what happens when we die. Each class includes a teaching\, guided meditation\, and a Q & A session after class in the World Peace Cafe. \nEveryone Welcome!

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: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:Living Meaningfully\, Dying Joyfully
DESCRIPTION:This is the simplest\, most obvious truth of our existence\, yet very few have really come to terms with this fact. In this series\, we will learn how to make the most of our human life (living meaningfully)\, to prepare for death (dying joyfully)\, and how to help others who are dying. In this way\, instead of something to be feared or denied\, death can become a positive and life-enhancing experience. \nThe series is based on the book Living Meaningfully\, Dying Joyfully\, by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.  \nThe teacher\, Gen Kelsang Gomlam\, worked as a nurse in Intensive Care and Hospice before she met the New Kadampa Tradition. Her previous practical experiences together with the powerful teachings of Buddha create a light-hearted environment to explore the most important knowledge we can develop — what happens when we die. Each class includes a teaching\, guided meditation\, and a Q & A session after class in the World Peace Cafe. \nEveryone Welcome!
