This is a short class, with time for prayers and silent contemplation so that we can increase our own inner peace and compassion.

This is a free class for everyone. Everyone welcome.

Guided Breathing Meditation

Class begins with a guided 15-minute breathing meditation to relax body and mind.

Teaching

The meditation is followed with a short teaching on how to integrate Buddha’s wisdom into our daily life. These practical talks are meant to be contemplated deeply as a way to solve our daily problems and to increase our own inner experience of mental peace and happiness.

Meditation for World Peace

The teaching is followed with beautiful prayers for world peace with verses from Shantideva’s Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life and Geshe Langri Tangpa’s Eight Verses of Training the Mind.

Silent Contemplation

After the prayers, there is a five minute pause for silence for students to contemplate whatever they found meaningful from the teaching and prayers.

Dedication

The class finishes with dedication for those who are experiencing physical and mental pain and sufferings such as war and famine so they may be free from suffering.
