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:Transform the Way you Love Special Class
DESCRIPTION:In this special Valentines’ Weekend Retreat Gen Kelsang Khedrub\, the resident teacher at Kadampa Meditation Center Boston\, will be teaching and guiding practical meditations on developing our capacity to love others using the three types of love explained clearly in Buddhist psychology. We will learn that the more you love others—paradoxically—the happier you get! This seems counterintuitive because normally we think that happiness comes from “being loved enough”. But this never produces the feeling we are all looking for—no matter how hard we try. \nReal happiness comes from doing the opposite—giving love. Everyone Welcome!

SUMMARY:The Power to Change
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.
