About us
Meet others with an interest in meditation and transforming daily life into something extraordinary. Learn how to meditate or deepen your current meditation practice but mainly learn how to use different ways of thinking in daily life to solve inner problems and find inner peace. A trademark of the meditations of Modern Buddhism is the emphasis of ease in which they can be used both “on the cushion” and in our daily lives. In this way it is very easy to integrate your inner life with your daily life.
Each meeting will include a talk on how to reduce stress and other problems encountered in daily life and how to increase mental and physical well-being through developing inner peace. Each meeting with include guided meditation. 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! Refreshments served after the meetings.

Exploring Buddhist Images and Buddhist Symbols
Je Tsongkhapa Kadampa Buddhist Center, 1070 Tunnel Rd bldg 2 unit 20, Asheville, NC, USExploring Buddhist Statues and Buddhist Symbols with Modern Buddhism Teacher Seth Nathanson
The first thing people notice when they walk into a Buddhist Center is the shrine, with its elaborate and colorful statues and paintings. They often ask about the meaning of the Buddhist symbols and images represented in the statues and paintings.
Bring your questions to this class! We will talk about the main statues, the life of who they depict, and the different symbolism used.
We will explain the relationship of the Buddhist practitioner to the shrine, why there are offerings placed on it, and how you can set up a sacred space in your home. Everyone Welcome.*It is recommended to attend this course in person. Please note that for Member Livestream, visibility of the shrine will be limited.
