What we’re about
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.

In our life we put a lot of energy into searching for happiness. We believe if we find the right partner, position or possessions, line things up just right, then we will experience a happy life. Yet even after applying much effort, we are still searching for but not finding what we seek.

Includes guided meditations, talks, time for Q&A and a break with refreshments. Everyone Welcome.

Living Lightly: The Practice of Emptiness
Je Tsongkhapa Kadampa Buddhist Center, 1070 Tunnel Rd bldg 2 unit 20, Asheville, NC, USLiving Lightly: The Practice of Emptiness with Modern Buddhism Teacher Kadam Sharon Lovich
According to Buddha, we all have within our minds the potential to experience limitless joy, love and freedom from unhappiness. This may sound too good to be true and very different from how we normally perceive ourselves and others. However, our ordinary limited view of ourselves, others and the world, the one that we base all our thoughts and actions upon, is incorrect. Buddha clearly demonstrates how the painful self we normally relate to, called self-grasping ignorance, underlies all our tension, anxiety, pain, and suffering; and through a profound meditation, known as meditation on emptiness, he shows us how to let go of that limited version of our self and our world, and open ourselves up to whole new and wonderful way of being - a happiness that enables us to live lightly and joyfully in the modern world.
