Riverdale Buddhist Meditation Class
Conquering All Our Problems with Confidence, Compassion, and Wisdom
$10 per class, free for supporting members
The great 8th century Buddhist monk, Shantideva said, “I shall conquer all obstacles, and none shall conquer me, thus I who shall become a conquer shall practice with self-confidence.”
In this series we will learn how to apply this wisdom and Buddhas teachings to improving our daily lives. We learn that we have the freedom not to identify seemingly difficult situations as problems. In fact, as Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche reminds us in How to Solve Our Human Problems, in whatever situation we find ourselves, we can learn to train our mind to always be happy and to always connect to its’ peaceful pure nature before responding. This is great news as we navigate through this cyclic existence known as samsara. Why not change our mind and view situations as a training ground instead of as a problem? In this way we can find lasting happiness, learn to conquer our delusions and be of real benefit to all living beings.
Calling all potential conquerors: If this is what you would like, join us in exploring the teachings and meditation. Now is the time!
