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 or benefit from our meditations.
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!

A Sense of Possibility: Contemplating Karma and Emptiness with Modern Buddhism Teacher Kadam Sharon Lovich
*Class takes place in AshevilleNormally we relate to ourselves as if we are fixed and unchangeable. As a result, we feel stuck in our limitations. Buddha's teachings on karma and emptiness, however, show the falsity of that view and instead give us a vibrant sense of possibility. We can change. Not just a little, but to an extraordinary degree. We can transcend those false limitations, create the life we want, and become the person we wish to be. We can even become enlightened. Includes guided meditations, talks and time for Q&A. Refreshments will be available during the break.
Cost $30 (Discounts and online options for members)
