SUMMARY:Transform the Way You Love
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! \n  \nSchedule \nFri\, Feb 14 \nSession 1: 7-8:30pm \n  \nSat\, Feb 15 \nSession 2: 10-11:15am \nLunch: 11:30am-12:30pm \nSession 3: 1-2:15pm \nSession 4: 3-4:15pm \n  \nSun\, Feb 16 \nSession 5: 11am-12:30pm \nQ&A: 12:30-1pm \n  \n

SUMMARY:Protecting Our Future
DESCRIPTION:Does it sometimes feel like no matter how hard you try you can’t develop a calm and peaceful mind? Under the influence of anger\, jealousy and attachment we have created a great deal of negative karma\, as a result we now experience many difficulties and suffering. But no matter how negative our mind is\, there is a way to find peace by engaging in purification practice. In this inspiring course\, we will use the meditation practice of ‘The 35 Confession Buddhas’ to free our minds from negative and painful emotions\, while also increasing our positive energy and general happiness. \nIt is not necessary for participants to perform physical prostrations in order to practice the 35 Confession Buddhas\, although we will provide a demonstration on how to perform physical prostrations for those who wish to learn. Meditations are guided and no previous experience is needed. \n Everyone Welcome! \n  \nSchedule: \nTeaching 1: 10-11:30am\nLunch: 11:30am-1pm\nTeaching 2: 1:30-2:30pm\nPractice: 3-3:45pm
