What we’re about
Meet like-minded people interested in meditation near you! Learn how to meditate or deepen your current meditation practice. A trademark of the meditations we emphasize is the ease in which they can be used both "on the cushion" and in our daily lives. Each meeting will include practical meditation, and a talk on how to reduce stress and other problems encountered in daily life and how to increase 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. Everyone is welcome!

Kadam Lamrim or ‘Stages of the Path to Enlightenment’, is a very practical presentation of all the teachings given by Buddha. By engaging in this practice we systematically learn and deepen our understanding of all the essential meditations of the Buddhist path to enlightenment.
Through engaging in these special instructions and living in accordance with the insights we gain our mind will become progressively more peaceful, positive, loving, patient, and wise. Eventually, through continually training in these ‘Lamrim” instructions we will actualize our full potential.
This retreat will be based on the special presentation of the Lamrim Meditations from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s book, Mirror of Dharma with Additions. Everyone is welcome to attend. If you can not attend all the sessions you are still welcome to come to the sessions you are able to make. Each session includes short prayers, a talk, and guided meditation.
