Friday lunchtime meditation : Introduction to Emptiness: Ultimate Bodhichitta
Kadampa Meditation Center North Carolina, 528 East Blvd., Charlotte, NC, UShttps://www.meditationcharlotte.org/
Emptiness is the way things really are. Emptiness is not nothingness. It is the way things exist as opposed to the way they appear. Realizing emptiness is the method to release our mind from the ignorance of self-grasping. As the great Yogi Saraha said, “If your mind is released permanently from self-grasping, there is no doubt that you will be released permanently from suffering.” This is because the result of grasping tightly at appearances is that we develop self-cherishing, attachment, hatred, jealousy and other delusions, our mind becomes agitated and unbalanced, and our peace of mind is destroyed.1 attendee - $95.00

Meditation Class with optional community lunch : Living Your Best Life
Kadampa Meditation Center North Carolina, 528 East Blvd., Charlotte, NC, UShttps://www.meditationcharlotte.org/
IWe all want to be happy, but how often do we seek happiness outside ourself? It might seem like a cliché, but it’s true that we’ll never be happy with anyone else if we’re not happy with ourself. The first step to finding happiness inside ourself is working on our own mind. Therefore, the basic Buddhist meditations are for establishing happiness within our own mind.
Community Brunch is right after class upstairs in the Community Dining Room.
• The food will be fun and delicious, prepared by one of our volunteers, no need to bring anything.1 attendee
