Six Practices to Transform Our Life
This class is offered in person only
$15 per class, free for supporting members
“Remain natural while changing your aspiration.”
This encouragement given by the great Buddhist teacher Chekhawa over a thousand years ago explains that the path to creating the most meaningful and joyful life does not have to involve making external changes in job or lifestyle. It simply involves making a shift in our intention.
In this series we will look at developing and maintaining this shift, directing our wish to achieve our highest potential, enlightenment, out of love and compassion for every single living being without exception. As we develop this wish we enter into the beautiful path of the Bodhisattva, a being bound for Enlightenment for the benefit of all.
In particular we will look at the six main practices of the Bodhisattva, known as the Six Perfections. Integrating these six practices into our daily activities enables us to transform every facet of our life, our job, our relationships and so on, into our spiritual training.
Through talks, guided meditations, and discussions, Kadam Morten and other senior teachers will open us up to the extraordinary possibilities for living the very best life, for both ourself and others.
This course will be the perfect primer for our special Bodhisattva Ceremony on October 5 with which we will celebrate our 30 year anniversary.

The Best Meditation for Improving your Concentration
Improving our concentration in meditation naturally increases our experience of inner peace, happiness, confidence, and as well increasing our efficacy in all of other activities. Buddha highlighted one meditation in particular as the very best for increasing mindfulness and concentration, the meditation on the nature of the mind. In this series we will explore how gaining experience in this meditation helps us to easily overcome our tendency towards distraction and sets us for making real progress in meditation, and consequently in life. Everyone welcome.
