About us
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. 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! \

The Path to Happiness
Unity of Bonita Springs Christian Church, 28285 Imperial Pkwy, Bonita Springs, FL, USCost: $12/person Pay at the Door, No need to pre-register
Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, appeared in this world 624 BC. Just as doctors give different medicine to people with different illnesses, so Buddha gave different teachings for people with different problems and capacities. These teachings are called Dharma.
Our founder, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche prepared The New Meditation Handbook, based on commentaries to Buddha’s teaching by great Tibetan Buddhist masters. The purpose in doing this is to make it easier for people of the modern world to understand and practice this precious holy Dharma known as Kadam Lamrim.
Lamrim means the stages of the path to enlightenment and its presentation lies at the very heart of Kadampa Buddhism.The Lamrim instructions form the main body of Buddha’s teachings. By integrating these instructions into our daily life, we can learn how to control our mind and always keep a good motivation in our heart. This will make all our daily actions pure and meaningful and, as we experience increasingly more peaceful states of mind, we will discover the supreme happiness of enlightenment.
Throughout this series we will engage in many of the 21 meditations of the Lamrim series offered in The New Meditation Handbook. No previous experience is necessary. Everyone is welcome.
Everyone is welcome! No experience needed.
Each class includes a teaching, guided meditations, and an opportunity for Q&A as time permits.***
