Queens Buddhist Meditation Class

New Series: Love is the Answer

$10 per class, free for supporting members

In Buddhism, we can train in cultivating love, which is limitless, healing, and liberating. The way we usually love inevitably causes us pain. We can even conflate love with suffering, that we can’t have love without suffering. In this series, we learn to love in a way that protects us from suffering, expands our hearts, and deepens our sense of connection with all living beings. We are loved when we love in this way and begin to appreciate all the love and kindness already in our lives.

November 7: Love is Limitless with Woo Jung Cho
November 14: Love is the Ultimate Protector with Woo Jung Cho
November 21: Love Makes Us Extraordinary with Henry Green

NEXT SERIES

Healing Our Difficult Relationships

December is a great time to reflect upon all our relationships and learn to reframe them. The work we do now will set them up to flourish in the new year. Love will be our reframing agent. The great healer that brings joy to our relationships and meaning to our lives. Buddha said we suffer because we are misidentifying ourselves. In this series, we learn to love ourselves and others on the correct basis and let go of all the self-blame and blaming of others that takes us nowhere other than more pain. In Buddhism, forgiveness is about letting go of all the distorted and mistaken views about ourselves and others that keep us stuck; and aligning our views through the lens of our infinite potential. Authentic love propels us to actualize the astounding potential within our own minds and empowers us to become the joyful and beneficial person we wish to be.

December 5: Authentic Self-Love Is Deeply Healing
December 12: Every Relationship Can Be Healed
December 19: Thriving Through Our Difficult Relationships

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.
