We will practice a variety of different meditation techniques such as focusing on the breath and loving kindness. We will learn how to gain control of our minds, to break negative thought patterns by developing mindfulness. To develop wisdom, we will focus on the Stages on the Path to Enlightenment (Lam Rim) teachings based on His Holiness the Dalai Lama's book Path to Bliss and other writings. To accumulate merit, we will do a variety of prayers and practices such as sutra readings, or a Medicine Buddha puja.
