Meditation, Buddha Nature, and the Spiritual Path

How Meditation Takes Us to the Spiritual Dimension of our Being

Meditation is so much more than only a means of relaxing and de-stressing. As taught by Buddha it is the primary tool for exploring our mind and how our mind creates our reality. Skillful meditation takes us right into the deeper nature of our being where we discover our own natural source of peace and happiness, our Buddha nature. Learning to recognize, access and nurture that pure potential is what the spiritual path is all about.

In this half-day course, through talks, guided meditations and discussion, we will learn how to effectively access and begin to nurture that spiritual dimension of our being. It turns out that we have the potential not just to fulfill our own yearning for real and lasting happiness, but also to be able to bring that happiness into the lives of others.

The course will conclude with Q&A. Everybody welcome.
