and MeditationMeditation classes for everyone with our Resident Teacher, Kadam Ethan Lechner

Cost: $12/class, members free“In his Dharma teachings, Buddha advises us not to seek happiness outside ourself, but
to establish it within our mind.” - Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, How to Solve Our Human
ProblemsWhen things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to
regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we
experience come from the side of the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations
with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may
even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development.
Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore,
if we want to be free from problems, we must transform our mind.
In these classes, Ethan Lechner will introduce the nature and continuity of the mind,
using meditation as a tool to purify and control our mind.Recommended reading: How to Solve Our Human Problems by Geshe Kelsang
