Buddhism 101- A friend of the World
 Term dates – Wed June 9th  – July 21st
Now available as In-Person class (booking required)

This feature class with Kelsang Lekchog covers a wide range of engaging topics.
Many people wish to benefit others and fulfil their compassionate wishes, but few  understand fully how to fulfil their wish.

A bodhisattva is someone who thinks if everyone as a friend and through their good heart works to alleviate the suffering of the world and give back loving kindness. It is an altruistic mind but possible for us all to accomplish with this the correct methods.
During this series of classes we will be exploring the bodhisattvas way if life which entails six very special practice called the six perfections; giving, moral discipline, patience, effort , concentration and wisdom. This series is suitable for anyone who wants to improve themselves through developing such qualities.

Buddhism and Buddhist meditation helps us to develop the skills to lead a peaceful, happy, and meaningful life. In this series of classes we explore different aspects of Buddhist wisdom that can help us keep a positive mind in daily life. This is because Buddha’s Teachings are scientific methods to solve our problems permanently. When we put his teachings into practice we gain mastery over our negative minds, such as anger, anxiety, worry and depression.

You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend these Buddhist meditation classes and they are attended by people from all walks of life. The classes include two guided meditations and a talk that relates to the basic teachings of Kadampa Buddhism.

This is a practical based course where practices and methods will be explained enabling you to establish the internal tools to bring about positive inner transformation. Each session will include a combination of teachings and meditation. Suitable for beginners and everyone welcome.
