Who am I really? For such a fundamental question, it is easy to be unclear about the answer.
We all have tremendous spiritual potential, and a radical capacity to change. We are living in a state of potential and possibility, but it probably doesn’t feel that way. Why? Because of misperceptions that cloud our mind.
Through training in the methods taught by Buddha, we can recognize the aspects of our mind that are limiting us, access a source of inspiration wisdom, and become the confident, positive, joyful person that we wish to be for the benefit of our world.
In this course we will learn:
– How to let go of self-limiting beliefs
– How to meditate on the emptiness of the self
– How to imagine the person we wish to be
Each class will consist of teachings, guided meditation and discussion to help you uncover the possibility that exists within you for change.
Everyone is welcome to drop in to any or all of the classes in this series. No experience necessary.
Remaining topics in this series:
November 20 I Am Imagined
November 27 I Am Changing
December 4 I Am Dream-like
December 11 I Am a Bodhisattva
December 18 I Am a Future Buddha + Holiday Party
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.
GP classes last approximately 1.5 hours. Chairs and cushions are provided by the Center. 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.
