The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. We do this by developing positive states of mind in meditation and integrating this experience into our daily life. Each of these classes is self-contained and includes guided meditation, a talk, and questions and answers. Everyone is welcome regardless of belief or previous experience.

Prayers for World Peace and Dharma for Kids

* Sundays from 10:30 - 11:30am *

Without inner peace in the minds of living beings, outer peace is impossible. Start the week off right by learning to increase and maintain a happy, positive mind. Everyone is welcome to join us for an inspirational talk, special prayers and guided meditation to create peace inside of people's hearts and therefore, the world. Every week we make special prayers and dedications for people around the world.

Learn the art of relaxation and stress-release and discover the far-reaching benefits derived from all aspects of Buddhist meditation.

These classes will be following the best-selling Eight Steps to Happiness by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, an inspiring explanation of one of Buddha’s best-loved teachings on how to develop our potential for love, compassion and wisdom.

Beginners and people of all faiths are very welcome anytime!
