Meditation and Modern Buddhism

Meditation and mindfulness have a long and rich history. For centuries, people have turned to meditation as a way of living a healthy and happy life. Now, as our lives become more hectic and busy, a resurgence of interest in meditation is occurring. We all know that our modern lifestyles lack something, but few people realize that meditation will fill in this gap.

We can all find enjoyments and pleasant experiences, but the sense of well-being that comes with a stable sense of happiness and contentment is not a common experience. In this series of classes discover why meditation is just what we all need to find the happiness that eludes us elsewhere.

Gen Kelsang Wangpo, a Buddhist monk and the Resident Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Center Houston, will explain how we train in mindfulness and develop a meditation practice.

Every class includes meditations, teachings, and the opportunity to ask questions.

Everyone welcome, regardless of background or experience.

We have designed a special structure for our Thursday Meditation Classes. You can drop in for any Thursday Meditation Class. These classes are structured as a set of brief series of topics. Attending the whole series will let you understand an aspect of meditation. We offer on ongoing sequence 4 different meditation class series which will give you a detailed overview of every aspect of meditation. You do not need to attend the sequence of classes in order. They are: Introduction to Buddhist Meditation, Foundations of a Strong Meditation Practice, Meditation and Mindfulness, & How to Practice Buddhist Meditation
