Riverdale Buddhist Meditation Class
Using Our Peaceful Hearts to Benefit Others
In this series we will investigate and meditate on the eight four-line verses of the 11th Century Buddhist Master Langri Tangpa, Eight Verses of Training the Mind based on the commentary by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in the book, The New Eight Steps to Happiness. This incredible and practical guide shows us how we can transform our minds from our generally confused state to a state of mind centered on compassion and love for all living beings. In these sessions we will deepen our understanding of our Buddha Nature, the pure potential that resides in the hearts and minds of all beings thus enabling us to begin to recognize and reduce the delusions that cloud our realization of this potential. Understanding how to truly love all beings by recognizing that we all want the same thing, happiness now and in all future lives and lasting freedom from suffering, brings us closer to being of real benefit in this world.
