Tuesday, December 5: The Joy of Giving, with special guest teacher Gen Khedrub

We all have a wish to be happy and avoid suffering. Throughout our lives, we travel many different paths driven by this desire: career, relationships, home, vacations, etc. But ultimately, these external paths do not yield the results we seek.

During these introductory Dharma talks and meditation sessions, we will discuss the internal paths that can lead to discovering real happiness and a more meaningful life.

Join longtime Kadampa Buddhist practitioner, Tim Hogarty, to:

• Learn a Buddhist approach to finding authentic happiness
• Practice simple meditations to support this approach

Monthly from 7:00 - 8:00pm

Location: This event will be offered in-person at Beverly Public Library, 32 Essex Street in Beverly, MA. (Sohier room)

Tim is currently in the Teacher Training Program at KMC Boston. Tim frequently makes the commute to KMC Boston to help with special events particularly with the sound desk and to fill in as a guest teacher.

Tim lives locally on the North Shore, and is an avid gardener and cook. Enjoys walks with his dog, Boo.

Whether it’s a temporary falling out with a loved one, or a long term break down in a relationship, learn how meditation and improving our mindfulness can help us heal our relationships. We all have an innate potential to live with greater love, acceptance and empathy than we may believe at present.

Buddha’s teachings offer many approaches to how we can all cultivate this potential, by letting go of feelings of hurt, anger or resentment and find a deeper peace and joy in our life and relationships.

This workshop will include guided meditations, teachings and time for Q&A. Everyone is welcome.

Location: This event will be held at Kadampa Meditation Center Boston, located at 2298 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge, just a few blocks from the Davis Square T stop. There is free parking available, please email us at education@meditationinboston.org

Key Meditations for the Holiday Season
with Gen Khedrub

Tuesday, December 12
from 7:00 to 8:00pm

Our mind has limitless potential. But we can easily find ourself stuck in repetitive ways of thinking and behaving. Buddha taught many gentle methods to help us transform our mind and break free from old habits.

Buddha also taught ways to stabilize more realistic, constructive and positive views, intentions and actions. It all starts with understanding and transforming our own mind. And we can do it!

This Tuesday evening meditation class will take a practical look at Buddha’s teachings on the nature and function of our mind. Each week will include:

• guided breathing meditation
• a short teaching on how to access more inner calm and kindness
• a concluding contemplative time
• Q&A time with Gen Khedrub
