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:Breathe Easy: How to Manage Stress and Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:This series will show us how we can use meditation and Buddha’s teachings to bring about positive changes that we can use in our daily life. Many people are overwhelmed by the stress and demands of everyday life. We will explore meditation methods and ways of thinking derived from Buddha’s teachings that will help us deal with our stressed and anxious minds more confidently and effectively. \nEveryone is welcome. No previous meditation experience needed. There will be two guided meditations. One in the beginning to settle our mind and then another one after the teaching so we can contemplate the main points and take something away to test out in our daily life

SUMMARY:Making Relationships Meaningful
DESCRIPTION:In this 4-week series\, we will explore some practical wisdom from Buddha’s teachings on improving our relationships. Many people spend their whole life waiting for “others” to change and to become who we think they should be. This approach always fails\, and the result is friction and disharmony. Whether our relationships are healthy and nourishing depends primarily on our own attitude rather than the other people. In this way we develop agency to transform our relationships into opportunities for inner development and huge positive change for both ourself and others.

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:Making Relationships Meaningful
DESCRIPTION:In this 4-week series\, we will explore some practical wisdom from Buddha’s teachings on improving our relationships. Many people spend their whole life waiting for “others” to change and to become who we think they should be. This approach always fails\, and the result is friction and disharmony. Whether our relationships are healthy and nourishing depends primarily on our own attitude rather than the other people. In this way we develop agency to transform our relationships into opportunities for inner development and huge positive change for both ourself and others.
