Staying Peaceful and Compassionate In Trying Times😎 Drop-in Meditation Class

Staying Peaceful and Compassionate In Trying Times: Tom McGuire, Saturday 10:00 -11:00am

Worldwide these are very difficult and painful times, when we tend to focus on our own situation and worries. However, including others in our circle of care by training in compassion for both ourselves and others brings the inner peace we all seek, even in these trying times.
As Geshe Kelsang Gyatso writes: ”The mind that cherishes others is the supreme good heart. Keeping such a good heart will result only in happiness for ourselves and all those around us. This good heart is the very essence of the Mahayana path and the main cause of great compassion, the wish to protect all living beings from fear and suffering. Through improving our great compassion we shall eventually achieve the universal compassion of a Buddha, which actually has the power to protect all living beings from suffering." From The New Eight Steps to Happiness: The Buddhist Way of Loving Kindness. This is how we will train in staying peaceful and practicing compassion.
