The Power to Change in 2026: Forget Willpower, Try Wisdom
Who we are very much depends on who we think we are. So who will you be in 2026? We change every day in dependence upon our thoughts – but usually without choice, which is why we experience so many problems. Through incorporating Buddha’s practical insights into who we really are and who we can be, we enact a natural process of self-transformation and make it work in our favor. Instead of trying to change through willpower alone, we can make sustained, and smooth change from the inside out with wisdom. In the process we will experience deeper and deeper levels of joy and fulfillment. These classes are beneficial for everyone from complete beginners to seasoned meditators.

NEXT SERIES
The Power of Compassion to Actualize our Human Potential
In this series, we will explore the profoundly empowering meditation on universal compassion. This is the perfect meditation with which to begin the new year. According to Buddha, compassion is our actual Buddha nature. Meditating on compassion enables us to recognize our extraordinary potential to not only experience lasting happiness and freedom ourselves, but to be of great benefit to others. And the more familiar we become with this beautiful heartfelt mind, the more empowered we are to make great spiritual progress. Some people are concerned that meditating on compassion might be depressing but actually the opposite is true. This meditation naturally gives us great joy, energy and purpose for our lives.
