Buddha taught that the mind continues after death, and that we have had many past lives and will have many future lives. In this course, we will learn how we can gain conviction in the existence of our past and future lives. We will also learn how this wisdom can help us to develop our patient acceptance, and how it can give us clarity, perspective and direction for this life.
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:
March 26: How do we take rebirth?
April 2: The Significance of dreams
April 9: Where did we Come from where are we going?
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.
