PASADENA BRANCE: Deepen Your Meditation Practice
An ongoing, drop-in meditation class series with Buddhist teacher Sue Darling
Wednesday evenings • 7:00-8:00 pm
Location: Ahiah Center For Spiritual Living – Pasadena, 150 N. El Molino Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101
Everyone is welcome to drop in to any or all of the classes in this ongoing series. No experience necessary.
Meditation gives rise to peace of mind, which in turn brings us happiness and freedom from stress, anxiety and difficult relationships. This program has been carefully designed to help everyone develop an enduring meditation practice.
We’ll study the “Lamrim,” a time-tested system of 21 meditations that help you, step-by-step, become a wiser, more compassionate person.
Discover the joy of meditation and become a life-long meditator! Each class includes guided meditations and advice on how to apply these teachings to our busy lives and increase our inner peace.
General Program (GP) classes are suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. The classes are designed to help those looking for Buddhist wisdom to help with stress relief and relaxation, as well as those interested in exploring the nature of the mind, and pursuing the Buddhist path.
Classes explore the basic framework of Buddhist teachings and meditation and explain how to use Buddha’s advice in our daily lives to solve our problems. All General Program classes are based on commentaries by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
A typical class consists of a guided relaxation meditation, a teaching based on the meditation topic, and final contemplative meditation. Although classes are given in a series around one specific theme, they are drop-in in nature and can be taken individually, as each class topic is self-contained.
Branch classes last approximately 1 to 1.25 hrs. Chairs are provided. No special clothing is required, and there is no physical exercise, yoga, or stretching involved.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of belief; you do not need to be Buddhist to attend.
