New Series: Meditation on Emptiness

The Wisdom that Heals, Liberates and Enlightens

Of all Buddha’s teachings, none are more far-reaching and transformative than the teachings on emptiness, the true nature of reality.  It is through our understanding of emptiness – in particular, the freedom that we experience as a result –  that we can then come to solve all our problems and be of maximum benefit to others.

“With emptiness, anything is possible.”

In this series of talks and guided meditations we will explore this liberating wisdom. Each session will also include discussion and an opportunity to ask questions.

  • June 3       Your Body Is Not What You Think It Is
  • June 10       How Emptiness Heals Your Mind
  • June 17       How Emptiness Liberates You from Limitation

 

Summer break, after June 17th through August.  Classes resume September 9.

Classes continue at the main center in Chelsea.

New Series: Being a Friend to the World

The Joyful Path of the Six Perfections

One of the most cherished notions in all of Buddhism is the Bodhisattva ideal, someone who is determined to be of maximum assistance to as many living beings as possible. And how many is that? All of them! The vision is a big one, and even if initially we merely take on the role of Bodhisattva-in-training, we can still accomplish amazing things in our world.

The path to becoming a Bodhisattva is called ‘The Six Perfections”, six beneficial minds that we can train in. In this series, we will take a look at each of the perfections individually, as well as consider how integrating all of them into our lives can be so uplifting.

  • June 13              The Powerful Energy of Joyful Effort
  • June 20              Being the Boss of Your Own Mind
  • Jun 27                Wisdom to Solve Every Problem

Summer break, July through August.  Classes will begin again on September 5

Classes continue at the main center in Chelsea

 

Each class will consist of guided meditations and clear explanations, as well as an opportunity to ask questions. Everyone welcome!
