Creating a Meaningful Life with Modern Buddhism Teacher Jill Cagney

"Remain natural while changing your aspiration."
This encouragement, given by the great Buddhist teacher Geshe Chekhawa over a thousand years ago, explains that the path to creating the most meaningful and joyful life does not have to involve making external changes in job or lifestyle. It simply involves making a shift in our intention. In these classes we will look at developing and maintaining this shift, directing our wish to achieve our highest potential, enlightenment, out of love and compassion for every single living being without exception. Bringing these practices into our daily activities enables us to transform every area of our life, our job, our relationships, and opens us up to the extraordinary possibilities for living the very best life, for both ourselves and others.

Join Kadam Sharon Lovich, Resident Teacher of the Je Tsongkhapa Kadampa Buddhist Center, for the "Calm Minds in Difficult Times" meditation course.

Sometimes life can become overwhelming with difficult and turbulent events. At such times, the ability to stay calm can feel far away. However, through meditation we can learn to build a place of peace within. From this inner space, we can make good decisions that foster harmony and happiness for ourselves and others. In this half-day course based in Buddhist Psychology, learn simple and effective meditations for becoming more peaceful and at ease in everyday life, especially when times feel challenging. By creating balance and peace within, we can share this with our community, our city and our world. Everybody Welcome.
