Finding Freedom with Meditation
Wednesday 2 March
Meditation Classes
Online and Onsite
7 -8:30pm
We all want freedom. Freedom from difficulties, problems, suffering, mental pain. Is it possible to ever achieve true freedom? Buddha taught that true freedom is possible if we look for freedom and happiness in the correct objects. Through training in meditation, and incorporating our meditations into our daily life, we can follow a path that will take us to inner peace and happiness.
This series of classes will investigate Buddha’s teachings on the nature of suffering and how we can overcome suffering with wisdom. By transforming our thoughts about suffering and problems through daily meditation training, we can take control of the situation and develop and maintain a peaceful mind, free from problems.
Join Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Kunden for classes for Wednesday meditation class in February with meditations that will change your thoughts and your world. Everyone welcome. Based on the book Mirror of Dharma with Additions.
You are also welcome to join us for this class on Sunday afternoons at 2:30pm.
What to Expect in a Class
Our meditation classes are for everyone who is 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.
Developing compassion and wisdom, and helping those in need whenever possible, is the true meaning of life.
