This Spring we are beginnig to offer classes in Fergus, Ontario!
This class consists of guided meditations and teachings that we can contemplate and practice throughout the week. Each contemplation has a practical application to solve our daily problems. Through putting effort into applying these teachings to our daily lives, we can make great progress increasing our own inner peace. Through engaging in meditation practice we can develop and maintain a peaceful mind all the time. If we have a peaceful mind all the time we will be happy all the time, regardless of whether our conditions are good or bad. Now is the time to train in inner peace and happiness by putting Buddha’s teachings into practice.

What to Expect in a Class
Our meditation classes are for anyone interested in learning how to meditate, regardless of background or beliefs. Classes are designed to give a broad introduction to Buddhist meditation, teachings, and practice.
Every class includes a chance to practise meditation. No prior experience, special equipment or special clothes are necessary for our onsite classes – just come as you are, and bring your mask.
Classes are all standalone individual classes that are presented in a series. You do not need to attend the full series to attend a class.
Class Series Topics
Developing Authentic Self-Confidence
Low self-esteem, fear and anxiety arise from identifying with a “faulty” and “limited self”. But this view of ourself is not coming from wisdom. By developing correct thoughts based on wisdom we will cultivate correct thoughts that give us an a deep an authentic experience of confidence. Join us for meditaitons and contemplations and become a more confident person.
Some topics in this series:
1. Where does low self-esteem come from?
2. Freedom from Fear
3. Ignorance – the root of suffering
4. Finding Authentic Self Confidence
These classes are based on the book The New Eight Steps to Happiness. Come along and learn how to make your life deeply meaningful.
The Mirror of Wisdom
By applying Buddha’s teachings to our modern daily lives, we can view the world, and living beings in a special way – as a reflection in the mirror of wisdom. By understanding how the world around us is a reflection of our own mind, we can learn to recognise our negative minds and to abandon them completely. With training, we will experience an inner ability to transform suffering into powerful, positive states of mind, such as love, compassion and joy.
These classes are based on the books How to Solve Our Human Problems and The New Eight Steps to Happiness. Come along and learn how to make your life deeply meaningful.
Medicine for the Mind
The Buddhist vision for Radiant Mental Health
More and more these days it seems that everyone is “working on my mental health.” So many people are struggling with depression or anxiety, or insecurity or feelings of rejection. But what does it mean to be mentally healthy? What is a fully healthy mind? Do we even have an image of what that would be?
Actual mental health is much more than simply not being depressed or not being anxious. It is much more than simply being able to cope better with life. Through Buddha’s teachings on the mind we are given a vision of a fully healed mind, a vision of radiant mental health.
These classes are based on the books How to Solve Our Human Problems and The New Eight Steps to Happiness. Come along and learn how to make your life deeply meaningful.
