The International Kadampa Summer Festival is drawing to a close! Repost @newkadampatradition DAY 14 ~ RETREAT & TARA CHANTING STARTS
The day began with several sessions of retreat on Advice from Atisha’s Heart with Gen Rabten. We continued to enjoy the opportunity to take the meaning of the advice deeper into our hearts. It is incredible how happy developing and strengthening pure intentions makes us.

A Life Beyond Fear
One night only in New York City

Is a life beyond fear even possible?
According to Buddha, fear arises from how we respond to our environment not from the environment itself. The fear and anxiety that we experience is therefore not inevitable.

Through the practice of meditation, we can learn to work skillfully with our fear. Instead of allowing it to overwhelm us, we learn to redirect it, so that it moves us towards developing those states of mind that naturally give rise to peace, confidence and a strong sense of purpose.

Based on her nearly 40 years of experience of meditation, Buddhist nun Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong, senior disciple of the great Buddhist teacher, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche and Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition, will guide us into recognizing our potential for a meaningful and joyful life truly beyond fear.

Everyone welcome.

Learn all about the mind this coming Saturday!

Discovering the Wonder of the Mind
Half-day Course
with Alex Bonano

Our mind is our greatest natural resource. It is the creator of our entire experience and therefore the key determining factor in whether we are happy or unhappy. And it naturally possesses the potential for vast and lasting happiness and freedom, as well as limitless love, compassion and wisdom. But all too often we fail to recognize the mind for the wonder that it is. We see our mind as limited and relate to it as something fixed and stuck and consequently often feel trapped in painful states of mind.

In this half-day course, Alex will explain and guide us into the beautiful meditation known as ‘the clarity of the mind.’ Gaining experience in this peaceful meditation is truly life-altering. It gives us an experiential understanding of how our mind creates our reality, and that our reality is much more flexible than we generally realize. Recognizing this empowers us to begin bringing about real change within ourselves with great confidence and joy. Join us for this half-day course in which we can go deeper into our understanding of these teachings and how we can bring about profound transformation through understanding the nature of the mind.
