What we’re about
Meditation in Evergreen. Everyone is welcome!
Meet like-minded people interested in meditation in Evergreen, CO!
Learn how to meditate or deepen your current meditation practice. In this group we emphasize practical meditations that are useful both "on the cushion" and in our daily lives. Each meeting will include guided meditation, and a talk on how to reduce stress and other problems encountered in daily life, while increasing mental and physical well-being. There will also be plenty of time to discuss the ideas presented. Although the meditations and talks are based on Kadampa Buddhist philosophy, you don't need to be a Buddhist to enjoy this group. Kadampa Buddhism stresses a spiritual path of individual transformation and to look within ourselves for the inner peace and happiness we seek.
These meetups are organized by Kadampa Meditation Center Colorado.

#### About these public talks
So often in our interactions with others we find ourselves experiencing feelings of hurt, rejection, and not being heard that can lead to developing anger and rage towards others. Within Buddha’s exceedingly practical teachings on patience there is a special category known as ‘the patience of thinking about profound Dharma’ in which we apply the teachings on emptiness to our training.
Join us for this public talk with international meditation teacher Kadam Lucy followed by a series of classes with your local branch teacher, followed by a three-week series. Kadam Lucy will show how by applying Buddha’s extraordinary insight into ‘no self’ we free ourselves from taking things so personally. This in turn opens us up to a much more flexible and lighthearted way of responding to difficulties. Not only does this greatly improve the quality of our life, it allows us to transform problems and conflicts into opportunities for great spiritual growth.To register for this class please log on to the KMC Colorado website: https://meditationincolorado.org/how-not-to-take-things-personally-applying-emptiness-to-the-practice-of-patience/
