Queens Buddhist Meditation Class
Flourish From Within
Thursdays beginning September 5, 6:30 - 7:30pm
$10 per class, free for supporting members
Deep joy, deep contentment is an inside job. Like a gardener we need to first cultivate it from within and then bring it along wherever we go. Flourishing from inside out is possible because nothing is fixed. It’s actually the mind we bring to every situation, every relationship that determines the quality of our experiences. In this series, we start to build together the internal infrastructure we need to manifest a deeply fulfilling life we all want. A life infused with a sense of well being, of positive emotions and outlook, feeling present and enriched by our relationships and living with a sense of deep purpose and meaning. This series kicks off our exploration of the art of flourishing from a modern Buddhist perspective.
September 5: Connecting to Our Boundless Potential
September 12: Thriving Within an Unscripted Life
September 19: Creating the Life We All Want
September 26: Giving Ourselves Over to Love

Blue Sky Mind: We Are Unlimited
At our heart there is a doorway to an infinity of peace, joy and lightness, our blue sky mind. Buddha taught that our root mind is like the boundless, clear blue sky. And our thoughts, feelings and all of our appearances are like clouds. We can often get lost and stuck in the dark and sometimes stormy clouds of our mind and rarely identify with our vast, blue sky like mind. In this series, we learn to reverse the script by training to relate to our thoughts in a different way and thereby experience mental freedom. In the process we gain meditative insights into the true nature and wondrous power of our mind. Insights which in turn help us craft positive views and determinations to transform our life and flourish from within.
