Queens Buddhist Meditation Class

Awakening the Heart: Life-Changing Meditations on Love with Woo Jung Cho

In Buddhism, the path to freedom and lasting happiness is an inner journey of the heart. At the moment, the way we love is partial and biased, inevitably causing us pain. Buddha taught an extraordinary sequence of meditations through which we purify and open our hearts to others. Step by step, we are led to expand our capacity to love by mixing our heart with Buddha’s wisdom teachings on how we actually exist. By recognizing the invisible bonds of kindness that link us all, we experience pure love that greatly enhances our happiness and improves our everyday relationships. When we are connected to pure love, we naturally experience peace and happiness and can more easily overcome harmful attitudes that lead to negative actions. Eventually, our vision of ourselves becomes extraordinary, and our hearts become vast enough to embrace all living beings. Through talks, guided meditations, and discussions, we’ll embark on a journey of awakening the heart and experience these life-changing meditations firsthand.

Class is on break for the summer.

MEDITATION IS FOR EVERYONE, JOIN US!

Meditation is about understanding and transforming our mind, shifting our mental state from negative to positive ones that cause true happiness. Meditation connects us to the extraordinary potential within our own mind. Through meditation we discover that our mind is vast, light, the very nature of peace and joy, and infinitely flexible. This discovery opens us up to a whole new perspective: We can change. We can heal. We can flourish from within and benefit all the people in our lives and beyond. Join us for a joyful exploration of the art of flourishing from a modern Buddhist perspective. Meditation in Queens provides weekly in-person meditation classes in Long Island City and we seek to expand our offerings in the future to Sunnyside, Astoria, Jackson Heights and other neighborhoods of Queens through pop-ups and regular class offerings.
