Meditation and Modern Buddhism

We made it…2021!!! And what is it that we are hoping for this year? Well, like most every year, what we really want often boils down to being healthy and happy. So, we are offering this Start the Year Right, Learn to Meditate course.  

Learning to meditate is the best way to overcome stress and keep a positive, relaxed attitude to life. The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions. If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually, we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances. This happy mind will allow us to make good choices and enable us to enjoy a healthier lifestyle. 

This popular half-day courses provide an opportunity for beginners to learn all the basics of developing a meditation practice. Courses include clear teachings, guided meditations, and discussion.
