In our current times, perhaps more than ever, meditation can be a path to calming the mind and lessening afflictive emotions; a way to finding calm in an uncalm world. We teach meditation from the fundamental Buddhist teaching that all beings seek to end suffering and gain well-being. Over the course of 9 weeks, you will be able to sit in meditation following the method explained in the book How To Meditate, by Lobsang Lama Samten.
This course is meant for beginners as well as for more advanced meditators. Also, it is not necessary to be Buddhist to study with us, and we welcome and respect all traditions. That said, an important component of the course includes teachings on the Buddhist philosophy that is the foundation for calm-abiding meditation. Each class includes teachings on the philosophy and techniques, as well as meditation practice sessions.
Classes will be a combination of teachings, discussion with question and answer, and practice. As is typical of our tradition, initial practice will be more brief, extending over the duration of the class. Classes will be available in-person and online. Also, classes will be recorded so you can have access if you must miss a class. The course is lead by Les Kertay (Lobsang Tharchin).
