Riverdale Buddhist Meditation Class

Do you find your mind like a balloon, tossed about by external circumstances? Many of us are happy and content when things go our way, but then find ourselves easily driven to anger, anxiety, or despondence when things in our life, or in our world, do not go well. In this series, we will deepen our meditative experience and work on taming our mind so that we can be happy and stable no matter what life circumstances come our way. In the early classes, we will practice deepening our experience in meditation with Buddhist teachings on tranquil abiding. Then we will turn to specific Buddhist practices and tools that we can use both in and out of meditation for opposing the turbulent minds of anger, anxiety, and despondence.
