What we’re about
All are welcome! Our meditation classes are designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
Saturday Meditation Class – Now at 11 a.m., this beginner-friendly guided meditation helps stabilize the mind and open the heart. The session includes traditional practices such as Shamatha (calm abiding) and Tonglen (sending and receiving), as well as Jetsunma’s Light Expansion Prayer.
Sunday Meditation & Teaching – Join us at 11:30 a.m. for a meditation led by Khenpo Karze, followed by a public talk and Q&A.
The meditation focus varies from class to class. We are currently learning how to meditate on the Four Immeasurables: loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity.
The class begins with 30 minutes of meditation instruction, followed by 5-10 minutes of meditation practice, and then continues with discussion and Q&A. Each session concludes with a brief Chenrezig practice in which we recite Om Mani Padme Hung (a prayer of compassion), and a dedication prayer that our efforts benefit all beings.
Both sessions provide a strong foundation in meditation, helping cultivate inner peace and compassion amidst busy lives. Each class concludes with a dedication that our efforts benefit all beings.
Join us!
Classes are offered IN-PERSON in our Prayer Room and ONLINE: Saturdays on our Facebook and YouTube channel, and Sundays on Zoom.
