Upper West Side Buddhist Meditation Class
Cultivating Joy
$10 per class, free for supporting members
This class is offered in-person only
It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the suffering in our world, and often the suffering, or simply the hassle, of our daily lives. It can be difficult for us to keep a calm and peaceful mind even for a short time, and we can often feel discouraged about our ability to change our life, and certainly our world. Happily however, the Buddhist perspective provides a radically different paradigm in which each moment of our life, no matter how apparently mundane, offers the opportunity for freedom, meaning, and joy. In this series, Sharon will explore Buddha’s teachings on the preciousness of our current opportunity, and share practical methods, tips, and inspiration on how to cultivate and increase our daily happiness.
