Transform Your Life
A Blissful Journey


MEDITATION & BUDDHISM CLASSES


Follow inner paths that lead to lasting happiness.

From the Text "Transform Your Life "

"All living beings have the same basic wish to be happy and avoid suffering, but very few people understand the real causes of happiness and suffering.

We generally believe that external conditions such as food, friends, cars and money are real causes of happiness, and as a result we devote nearly all our time to acquiring these.

Superficially it seems that these things can make us happy, but if we look more deeply we shall see that they also bring us lots of suffering and problems."


What can I expect in each class?

Each class is two hours long and is broken down into several sections. We start with an introduction to the topic to be covered. We then still our minds with a guided 10 minute breathing meditation. It is followed by a 50 minute commentary on the actual meditation practice, then 15 minute guided meditation on the topic that was covered, a 15 minute intra-class discussion and closing with 15 minutes for questions and answers.

Classes are designed to be self contained and
can be enjoyed on a drop-in basis

The knowledge of emptiness is superior to any other knowledge,
The Teacher who teaches emptiness un mistakenly is superior to any other Teacher,
And the realization of emptiness is the very essence of Buddhadharma.


We will study these ideas and others in detail throughout the class series.

Cost: $12 per class
