Queens Buddhist Meditation Class
The Courage to Love
The next class in this series will be taught by Henry Green
Love is the great protector, the harmonizer that brings joy to our relationships and great meaning to our life. So how do we remain open-hearted and loving in the face of difficult circumstances around us? When we begin to feel angry, insecure and overwhelmed, can we keep from shrinking into those wounds? Yes! Buddhist teachings reveal step-by-step instructions on how we can tap into the reservoir of love that exists within each of us. In this series, we will discover how meditation can enable us to transform and heal all our relationships and eventually the world around us! Love will encourage us to stop living defensively – caught up in anger or resentment or despair. As we will discover, our wounds can serve as the springboard for our becoming the powerful, joyful and beneficial person we wish to be.

MEDITATION IS FOR EVERYONE, JOIN US!
Meditation is about understanding and transforming our mind, shifting our mental state from negative to positive ones that cause true happiness. Meditation connects us to the extraordinary potential within our own mind. Through meditation we discover that our mind is vast, light, the very nature of peace and joy, and infinitely flexible. This discovery opens us up to a whole new perspective: We can change. We can heal. We can flourish from within and benefit all the people in our lives and beyond. Join us for a joyful exploration of the art of flourishing from a modern Buddhist perspective.
Meditation in Queens provides weekly in-person meditation classes in Long Island City and we seek to expand our offerings in the future to Sunnyside, Astoria, Jackson Heights and other neighborhoods of Queens through pop-ups and regular class offerings.
