Jersey City Buddhist Meditation Class
Healing Ourselves and Others Through the Power of Taking and Giving
$10 per class, free for supporting members
This class is offered in-person only
What do we do in the face of suffering? Do we find ourselves crushed by the weight of our own suffering? Or overwhelmed by the suffering of others? In this 6-week series, we will build a meditative foundation for the powerful practice of Taking and Giving (Tonglen). Through Taking and Giving we learn to fearlessly take on our own suffering and that of others through the development of a mind of strong compassion. We then give happiness to others by developing a mind of wishing love. Each class in the series works step-by-step to train the component minds of this powerful meditation.
