NoHo Buddhist Meditation Class
Happiness, Karma, and Wisdom: Meditations and Practices to Transform Our Lives
Happy new year! If that sounds like a tall order to you, you are not alone. It’s been a challenging time in our world. But how 2026 will play out for each of us depends on one thing: our minds. If that seems like another gauntlet being thrown down, please come to these classes.
In this series of meditations, talks, and discussions, we will explore how the practice of Buddhist meditation can take us directly to actual sources of happiness: the mind of inner peace. In essence, familiarity with a peaceful state of mind is what meditation is all about. Through familiarity we create habits. Happiness is a habit. It is also the true nature of our mind. It’s always there; we just need to tune in to this reality on a regular basis.
Once we have become more familiar with inner peace and happiness, we can explore how understanding karma (a special instance of the law of cause and effect whereby all of our actions are causes and all of our experiences are their effects) and the wisdom of emptiness (the true nature of reality) can help us enjoy happier, more meaningful lives.
