Meditations to Make Our Life Happy and Meaningful

The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, or “Lamrim”, is a sophisticated, practical presentation of Buddhist teachings, which is designed to help us improve and grow in a deliberate and joyful way. Over 1000 years ago the Buddhist sage Atisha consolidated the 84,000 teachings of Buddha into the Lamrim, which are 21 essential meditations, revolutionizing the practice of Buddha’s teachings. Since then, Lamrim has flourished throughout the world and it perfectly fits within our modern lifestyle. It is simple, scientific, and incredibly potent.
The Lamrim takes us step-by-step through carefully crafted meditations so we can purposefully nourish the qualities in our mind that lead to our happiness and reduce our painful thoughts and feelings.
In this class, we will go one-by-one through the Lamrim, drawing out how we can personally use these meditations and create our own meditation practice. There will be a special emphasis on the art of meditation and how to really make our meditations effective.
Join us afterwards for lunch in our World Peace Cafe! Lunch is available for purchase at check in and will be served after the class.

We all have a limitless amount of loving energy within our hearts, but often the mental residue of our past harm prevents us from connecting with this loving energy and we stay stuck and feel victimized by the past. Using the wisdom of Buddhist psychology we can learn to transform our reaction to any past harm into powerful inner growth and deep healing that will finally give us the freedom and confidence to love again!
